Is that what you did?

No. I suspect the FIV cat that licked your eyeball and gave you feline AIDS is the culprit.
No, this is what I did:
As you mostly know, in my former life, I was first an arts administrator then a marketing manager. I've done a LOT of curating, event planning, fundraising, and working with big government and big corporations. Who know all of that experience would come in handy again one day?
There is an officially designated arts district in DT Long Beach. It hasn't been doing well lately due to the economy and a lot of mediocrity has set in. I was invited to curate a couple of shows in a gallery in the area which has now led to the creation of a monthly fair/festival/event. The components will be an organic Farmers Market with everything from plants to canned goods, a collaboration with the non profit LB Center for Re-Use, an organic gardening co-op , composting people, and a CURATED arts and crafts market. I've been recruited (somewhat against my will) to be highly involved in the creation of this thing - especially the artist market portion (although, I have good relationships with Long Beach Organic too).
Of course, I will be able to show and sell my own work.
I'm actually excited about the prospect of this but a bit scared by the amount of time it will take. But, hey, maybe it will develop into something lucrative. (HA) |
