The Teeny Tiny Extravaganza
Art Show & Sale
The Extravaganza constists of two parts, concentrated and focussed on Audience and sales!
The First Part is SALES
We’re having a Year- Starter Blow Out Sale.. kinda like a year end sale but the calendar didn’t work so we’re blowing out last years stock.. in time for Valentines Day Pressies! Well, not us.. you are. The max price for sale items is *about* $100 each. The exhibitional space will be traffic mobility in one- direction only.. entering at the back of the building, collecting art as they walk through to the front.. where the check out& wrapping stations are.
This is a proven platform.. but I’m making some *security* updates to ensure that what happened to me at one similar show doesn’t happen to you (I lost over $400 worth of stock due to theft). It’s a difficult lesson to learn, to be sure.
And the really cool thing? The Extravaganza will be part of the 30 hour Boat Naming Live Stream I’ll be hosting from the very same space!
FYI:
I have decided to relocate TheBoat from Calgary to Kelowna recently.. The Boatshed is an unheated, dusty space.. I need a heated, weather protected, and clean space to do my fiber glass work.. so, either pay a ton in Calgary (and have to drive an additional 7 hrs one way) or.. a cheaper space in Kelowna, save on the drive.. and Be Right There at The Lake for the first few short distance tests as soon as the boat is ready!
The art show and sale starts at NOON on friday, Feb. 6th and runs right through to Saturday at 6pm
The Stream starts Friday at 6pm and goes *live* through to midnight Saturday
Friday noon until 6 pm is media, bloggers, High Rollers, Dignitaries, and VIP access.. lower populations, opportunities to meet and mingle.. get a soundbite on to a blog.. things like that.
What we are looking for:
Sell what ever you want but, “hangable” art is ideal.. but we aren’t shying away from 3D art and small items. Books, photography.. art cards- it’s ALL welcomed.
There will be an “ADULT” zone.. fine art nude photography and other items of a similar *ilk* are welcomed in to that area. It will be staffed all the time in order to prevent younger eyes from straying and.. staying on to view.
And the Second Part is…
You will have a digital presence during the whole streamed event! This means you’ll have a PROFILE, you can post MORE stuff to sell (no comissions charged.. ) and if you wanna, you can set up times to be LIVE for interacting with online (or even in person) audience members! This is a standard feature for my “Streamed” events.. a value in and of itself!
On acceptance, you’ll get a full digital package covering all that you need to know.. but for starters-
Q.: Is the show limited to only Okanagan Artists?
A.: NO WAY! We are making plans for Art Pick Up in Vancouver, Calgary, and Edmonton. Stay tuned for the dates and times as failure to show up means someone else gets your spot.
Q.: Do you know where the show will be held yet?
A.: Not yet.. we had one location almost signed for.. but someone else offered more and we lost it but we’re confident. The key features we are looking for are- back and front access, about 1500 sq. ft.. centrally located (so, somewhere near Parkinson Rec.) for general access & public transit access for those that don’t drive (or cycle).
Q.: Will there be a Bike Lockup?
A.: Yes! And cycling to the event gets you a free re- entry pass!
