The loft needs attention

Melinda continues with what seems like endless painting.
Dennis checks out the lighting.

Proud of our sign

The sign comes in and the sign goes up.

Getting the space ready

Clean, clean, clean. Nesting.



Our resident draftsman.




Our resident Handy Man.  He can do anything.  We could not do this without him.
A hands on President.

Gathering for another of many meetings.
Decisions, decisions.

How much for the Treasurer in the window.  You couldn't afford her and besides we can't do without her.
The work is long but having fun doing it.
Secretary, sculpture, painter and full of smiles.
Work, work, work.  No, she is NOT for sale.  She is to valuable to us.
Friends stop by to lend a hand and we are blessed with many.

We are seven.

First look at the space

Our first look at the space at WaterStreet Market Ste. D  "Be Still My Heart".  We are all in love with this space.  Great natural lighting, a loft that is every artists dream, restaurants close by, there are 4, tourist and locals shopping.  What more could we ask for?  And it is an Art District.  As one artist said "If Art does not sell in this location in Corpus Christi, it would not sell any where in this City.  We think she is right so we are taking a chance.  Where do we sign the papers.

Coming soon ...

Our artists are currently exercising their painting skills in a slightly different way from usual. Not so much painting on canvas as painting on walls and generally preparing our new premises for the opening of our gallery on September 1st.
We are determined to be up and running in time to participate, in our own premises, in the September 3rd ArtWalk and we are fixing to co-incide our "Grand Opening" with the October 1st ArtWalk.
Please save these dates to come visit with us.
