group show opening

I am participating in a group show here in Prince George at Artspace during the month of August. There will be an opening on Friday, August 5th at 7pm, however, I will not be in attendance because, as an anonymous blogger commented, I have a wedding to go to on that day.

Artspace is upstairs in Books and Co. across from the Native Friendship centre. Hope you can make it! and if you like my work...please consider buying it. (shameless plug).

an arm and a leg...maybe

I just returned from a visit to several framing shops in town. I am preparing for a group show at Artspace here in Prince George for the first week in August. I know that framing costs are expensive, but I was truly shocked at the cost. I have 6 pieces of work that I want to show. Three small ones, 4"x4" are $50.00 each to frame. That means if I want to sell that art, I apply my price, then add for framing, you are looking at about $120.00 to buy one of my pieces that is 4 inches square. That piece took me about 3 - 4 hours to complete, that's about $15.00/hour I earn on that piece. Most people my age probably earn more than that where they work.So, next time you look at art and wonder why it is so expensive, think about the framing and the time involved to create the piece. I bet it will look like a much better deal!
