Good Old Fashioned Sidewalk Sale

Yep - a happy little town with a sidewalk sale for Labor Day weekend. I love it! After only two months in business, I can still come up with something for a store version of a garage sale. YEA! Hope you can come by for a bargain, and stop by the bakery, the diner or the barber shop while you are in town.... we have it all in Mayberry [aka: Edmonds!]

Be our Friend!

Ok - so here’s the deal... almost daily updates about cool art products [what’s NEW!] Scott Burnett’s amazing photographs, store specials, fun stuff about our classes, all on our totally happening FB page. AND here is where you come in.... what’s happening with the local art scene. Post [oooh and LINK!] with us on our ARTspot FB page. 

Be on the IN!

Happy Colors.

Having an art store is a great job for an artist. I get to see the newest products that break new ground for us to create with. I get to order, order, order and then wait expectantly for the boxes of goodies to come. Opening them up is like Christmas morning. Today we got a wonderful surprise from our friends at C2F: colorful bubbles that also happen to sharpen two sizes of pencils.... for way under $3 [actually $2.25 and they are German engineering!]. 
This is the kind of thing that appeals to artists.... put them out on orange squares paper, create a design, then photograph, crop and share with our friends. Go figure - pencil sharpeners!

Up and Running.... actually taking our time.

ARTspot Studio is in full swing. Our first classes have happened this last week. We hosted a group of young ones working in clay with Barbara Wyatt, I did my first Acrylics class in my own place which felt great, and Mona Fairbanks did a five day art camp deconstructing manufactured items and making new art with the fascinating things inside. Have you ever seen all the gears inside a VCR player? We will do a mini-show at 5:00 tomorrow: come by and see!

Classes at ARTspot: The point is to set aside some time for yourself for art process. Kids can take their time also, to discover what it means to loose track of time while creating. It feels great.

Kids love ARTspot.

This little miss came in with her mom the other day to arrange having her Girl Scout troop do a clay class with our own Barbara Wyatt. Of course we can do that!! She totally has that ARTspot vibe going with the tie-dye and floppy hat [I had one like that about age 12]. I adore the variety of people coming in to check out the store. We welcome young artists, but we are here for artists at any age who have found that ART can keep you young at heart. Art rocks.
