Sometimes we have to make them..
Grand gestures help the little things happen. They work as a team, in painting and in life..
Recently I have stepped up with another artist Allison Blansit, to help  form a Co - Op here in Sonora.   The need was present, lots of talented local artists, good work, no places to show, no one willing to take on the risk and responsibility at this time. We all know how art galleries have been hit hard lately.  Let's face it, luxury items always hit the bottom of the list of needs first.

But back to the grand gesture motif here..
We have a beautiful old building in downtown Historic Sonora, CA. recently vacated. With the support of our local non profit art group, Mother Lode Art Association, Allison and I have raised our hands in a swooping grand gesture to keep art alive and well, even in these harder times.  We have 50 participating artists so far, and we are very excited about it.

The name of the Gallery is Aloft Art Gallery, located at 19  W. Bradford St, Sonora, CA 95370  phone : TBA  Scheduled opening   June 20th 2008

Sometimes art imitates life.. and sometimes the other way around.

Ain't life grand?
