Siouxland Artist Inc. . . Here We Come
Today we leave for Sioux City, Iowa to address the Siouxland Artists Inc. group there. They are a good sized group with over 60 members and their own gallery.
We were asked to come and talk about how I became the towering entrepreneurial artistic success that is Mona of Wild Faces Gallery. (umm . . no.)
We were asked to come and talk about how I turned my passion (and by passion I mean hobby) and a $500 start-up into a fully functioning and successful art business. (still not quite it. Too infomercially. That’s right you too can become an artistic success and all you need to do is makes some prints! . . . Yeah, I don’t think so.)
We were asked to come and talk about who I am, what I do artwork-wise, and how with the help of my husbands computer wizardry we created a successful art business through print sales and a seriously tenacious attitude. You know like a Pitt Bull. (I think that works as well as anything.)
At any rate, since Sioux City is a 3 hour drive and the speech takes place in the evening, we will be spending the night there as well. On the upside it’s a paying gig (Sweet!) So we’ll see you all on Wednesday. Or if you’re in the area feel free to come to the meeting. It is open to the public and from what I’ve heard there’s food.
I really, really wish I could be there. Hope it is overall a relaxing get away for you.
The get-away not so much, the getting home was though.
