One more note, speaking of connecting, I’ll be doing a talk/demonstration at a local art league on November 8th. It’s my first time doing this for an artists’ association, so I’m really looking forward to it, both for the experience, and to present to artists.

Hi Alyson,
The opening was lovely, you can see photos of the installation on my Facebook page, Rosoff Artworks.
I’m tickled to know you’re using my e-blast in your workshops, that’s a real compliment, thank you. I’d love to hear any feedback, and people are always welcome to subscribe to them on my website!

Jill: I’m a bit slow. I hope the opening was a huge success!
I still show your newsletter at my workshops. People really “get it” when I put it next to others as a very good example.

Joining a local art organization is a real plus! We have a good one based out of Boulder – The Boulder Art Association. We’re involved in community outreach, venues for shows, demos and mini workshops at the monthly meetings – lots of stuff. You can also join the board for further involvement. Not only does this get you out with other artists, but it helps step up your arting. It helps create an environment in your art life that’s more and more serious. I find that really important. Get involved.

Reading all these at first I was conflicted, because I have a solo show opening next Saturday in San Diego. Then I realized, there is a great collaboration going on with this show, between three people: the owner/curator of Glimpse, Lynle Ellis; our mutual art business advisor, Susan Haldeman, and me. And it’s been one of the juiciest projects I have worked on recently. Along with the show being in a city that I haven’t had a show in before, so its a whole new audience for my work, each one of us is bringing all sorts of energy and excitement to the project. There will be a lot of my work showing, the PR they put together is terrific, and I can’t wait to see how it’ll be hung, as Lynle is an interior designer, so as part of the show she’s putting together vignettes of pieces, in combinations and setting I hadn’t imagined my work in before. With three people looking at and mining the opportunities, its turning into a bigger event than I’ve had recently, and I couldn’t be happier.
And by the way, the opening is on October 15th, in San Diego, at a lovely gallery/home store in the North Park neighborhood, called Glimpse (www.glimpseliving.com). Artist talk at 4:30, reception from 6 to 9 if anyone would like to come. Or tell your friends in San Diego about it! Thanks!

Brilliant! I whole-heartedly encourage this. Artists have somehow splintered and isolated themselves (at least I did), and I’m thrilled to see the community thrive. We need more posts like this!
And speaking of, I’ve taken the idea a bit further with this post to inspire confidence in approaching artists and setting up collaborations.

Janice: Thank YOU for sharing! I look forward to seeing what develops. I love reading about collaborations among artists, musicians and dancers in the early part of the 20th century – especially the Ballets Russes.

Excellent, Roger. Thank you for sharing your experience with this. I hope some of you are attending the Oklahoma Arts Conference in Tulsa in 3 weeks – where I’ll be presenting.
