I'm counting on you ladies for some great art...

Hi everyone,

I know it's summer and everyone is out enjoying life. At least that's what I'm telling myself since I'm feeling a little silly for putting up 3 posts in a row!

I'm settled in here enough for now. Always home improvements to be made, but I can definitely work with this. Really enjoying getting paid to work on art-related things even though everything is still so new.

To cut to the chase: Our new little online gallery needs artists. High quality contemporary artists that work in a variety of styles, mediums, sizes, and subjects. Can you help me out here?

I'm hoping you all have no problems consigning at least a few small things for 6 months. After all, it might sell! Also feel free to pass this around to any excellent contemporary artists you may know.

The website won't be fully functional until Aug. 1, but artists can already submit images and events. We're trying to compile a directory of events and contests from around the country. Could you please submit art events in your area?

Art gallery information sheet for artists:
(See this counts as real post since I designed this one! Counts for Jocelyn too I guess since she is photoshopping most of the room shots. But still not letting her off the hook for not sharing new paintings with us on the blog.)

Please check out the blog!

Hello ladies! I hope it's less steamy where you are than in St. Louis. Less than a week until the big move. eek!

In preparation for the full site going live, Obviousplace.com is starting an art/design blog to get some credibility. I've been writing blog articles as well as the interior design intern working there for the summer.

Please check it out and post comments if you like.

We need help since we're just starting out. Also, if you run across anything along these lines that would be good for a post let me know. Users will be able to post soon and we always need more interesting art. T

here will be an online art gallery aspect to the site. Hopefully lots of traffic from people buying furniture, so should be good art sales too. Make some bold, contemporary pieces so we can jury them into the gallery. No application fee during this summer. Think about it ; )
