Flax art & design is interested in supporting MAU artists through a
live painting program in the store. With this invitation, please think
of Flax as an extension of your studio, with the benefit of a new
environment to stimulate your creativity. Your workspace will be in
the front of the store with the highest area of traffic. We'll have an
easel and taboret for your use, you can bring some promotional
postcards for customers to take away, and you can bring in a some
finished pieces of art to sell, too.
The purpose of this is to give you more exposure of your talents and
artwork. By extension of that, we hope to increase awareness of
Mission Artists United and the Open Studios. For Flax, your
participation provides a great new energy in the store, and our
customers gain inspiration from watching you.
Our goal is to schedule an artist as live painter every Saturday.
The best time is mid to late afternoon, with a working time from two
to four hours. Flax will promote the program to all our customers via
email and social media, and for each participating artist we will list
their bio on our website and in the store. If you like, we'll post a
video to YouTube.
Please note that while the idea for this was spawned from successful
MAU artist presentations in the store last year, it's not for
everyone. The retail environment can be hectic, with different
announcements coming over the PA system and occasional customers
wanting to interact with you.
To schedule a participation date/time or to ask questions, please
contact Leslie Flax at leslie at flaxart.com, (Leslie and Howard are siblings, representing the third generation of the Flax family)
Thank you. We are really forward looking forward to working with MAU
artists!
Sincerely,
Howard Flax
