This morning I left Portland for Seattle. I got in and checked into the Green Tortoise Hostel; right next to the awesome Pike Market Place. After check in I headed straight to Continuum Heart in Motion Gallery. I have been showing at this Gallery for over a year now. The owners have been amazing. They paid to have my art work ship to the Gallery, they paid for one of my works to be shipped and they paid for me to come up for the opening show. But I have yet to sell a piece of work there yet. for the last year I have felt bad for that. I have felt like I had failed but today on my way to the gallery I saw this gallery that I have been too before and the same work they had last year was still there on display. And this was amazing work from an artist know around the Pacific North West. So if a know artist is having trouble selling then i can't be too bad that my stuff is not flying off the wall.
But regardless business is business and this gallery has to make a buck. artist must pay a fee i can not afford but the gallery as agreed to let me show in exchange for three days a month of work. A fair trade if you ask me. So I will see you Seattle every month! :)
