I'm very excited as I just got invited to show some of my instruments at an art gallery in January! Don't know how many pieces will be used yet but it will be really nice to have them on exhibit in such a nice place. Any tips you have will be appreciated.

Good deal man !

I have the same thing coming up, just dunno if I wanna do it. I also had the head honcho ( who loves me and my stuff) even ask me if I would be interested in performing at the grand opening ... it is a new art gallery.

Are you crazy? Of course you want to do it! I"ve got one coming up in December, too, and I'm handing out the postcard invites wherever I go.

We're just putting a leather thong around the head and hanging them on a nail on the wall. They'll be all tuned up and ready to go, so folks can take them down and play. It is only a one-afternoon event, and we're having a handful of players for a mini-concert: a rock-n-roll guy, the teen girl uke squad, a blues guy on a blues-stick I made for him (well, not really FOR him, he just never gave it back) and the gallery owner's DIY OT string band.
Yeah, I do ...... and yeah , I'm crazy! I emailed her this morning and have been playing g-mail-tag all day. Now I'm waiting on her to verify my appointment for tomorrow evening.


Matt
Yeah , I think you should definatley go for it Matt, Will be great exposure for your great builds!
SHOW OFF!
Exalt Yourself.
Break a LEG.

You Too Matt.
Awesome Bruce! Your work deserves to be described as Art.
Here is what's going to the art gallery.


Thats a beauty Matt! Very nice.
Also ended up with a Helix box Uke there ........ I just might get to uppity for youse guys!


Matt
Ok, I'm officially declaring my self uppity ..... or maybe I'm just a diva!


Matt
Best Wishes on your upcoming showing. I think having pictures of the Great Depression, Dust Bowl, Mississippi Delta, etc might help if you were interested in expressing their historical value. Please post pictures of the event. I would enjoy seeing it too. Enjoy.
