First Gallery Show - Aftermath

Journal Entry: Sat May 10, 2008, 7:41 PM
Wow. My first show was last night. Three artists, four hours. The gallery, Reflection Fine Art in Dallas, Texas, did a tremendous job of publicity and execution. They have a great gallery director and sales associates who talk up the potential buyers and bring the artist in to "close" the sale if needed. I had eleven pieces there and sold four of them. Each piece was $2500 or higher, so I'm on seventh heaven. Everyone said 4 of 11 sold at a first show by a new artist is a wonderful result and a good omen for the future!

All pieces remain up until June 6 and I will be there each friday night to assist in further sales when people show up for the Gallery's weekly friday night gallery series.

I have been fortunate to have good luck early and I don't take it for granted! Thanks to everyone on DA for your great support and enthusiasm!

Are you sure you didn't accidentally put an extra zero on the price you mentioned? Wow! :wow:

Oh, I'm already a resident of the art world, but apparently I'm a denizen of the slums. ;P
