Call to Artists: I recently opened my Gallery in Scottsdale and I am looking for 1 or 2 local artists to bring into my Gallery.
I am looking for a jeweler, a potter or a sculptor whose style is SW or Western and/or complimentary to mine. The Wall
space is occupied with my photographs; I do however have some floor space that I would like to utilize.
We are also looking for Thursday Night/Arts Walk Artists & Musicians for our “Artists Courtyard” – your work will need to
be “juried in” by the Artists that rent studio space in the courtyard. Please have a look at my website to see my style of
photography. Please email me for more details and information and include a link to your website or photos of your work
– I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you!
