Goal: -Support to participate in the Coors Western Art Exhibit in Denver Colorado. Support will be the purchase four frames, two Strong Box shipping boxes and shipping of five parcels of paintings. -The exhibit will allow my paintings to be displayed among the top Western and Midwestern painters in the United States. -The exhibit will allow me to feature my paintings in front of established and new painting collectors. Method to measure outcomes: I'll be able to track the number of visitors and collectors to the exhibit via statistics obtained by the curator of the exhibit. I'll be able to track new collectors based on any sales of my paintings. Strong Boxes will allow for safe delivery and return of paintings shipped.
I sold 4 of the 6 paintings I submitted which created 4 new collectors. One of the buyers is a very influential collector of American art works. The Strong Boxes allowed all my paintings to arrive securely. The boxes, being reusable, allowed for the safe return of two paintings that did not sell. My work was viewed by other nationally established artists as well as regular collectors of American and Western art.
