Wheels of Progress are Spinning

Looks like our license hearing will be July 14. Sure hope everyone is on board! So far our artists and patrons are thrilled with the prospect of the addition of our "wine gallery." I think everyone realizes this venture may save the gallery and "keep our lights on." Without something new and revenue generating our artists will lose out. That just cannot happen after 6 1/2 years of hard work! I am very excited about bringing Jeffrey Auxer's glass into the gallery. We will offer his wine glasses and decanters. Not sure if I mentioned this before, but our smaller craft items will focus on functional art related to wine so we will eliminate some things we have carried. We will have jewelery by Lynda Ohotnicky, Armando Suarez and a couple other artists but all other jewelry will be discontinued. This means a BIG sale starting June 24. Items $25-$300 will be $14 - $165 - just above my costs. (A very small profit allows us to take credit cards for this sale!) Great time to buy gifts - we will provide boxes! Think of this asChristmas Eve shopping six months early!
