We had our first three artist informational meetings last month. It was our opportunity to connect with artists and to share our vision for IDEA Odyssey. We had some great initial conversations with folks about collective dreams for the gallery and the International District.
We have also been busy working behind-the-scenes on creative, operational, and funding fronts. It's been a lot of work for Carina, Minh, and myself. We look forward to when the gallery is fully functioning as a collective in the upcoming months! Based on conversations with artists, it appears there is a lot of interest for the artist-supported/artist-supportive gallery we envision. We suspect the membership will grow quickly once we're ready to officially come "on-line".
In the meantime, keep your eyes peeled for a Call for Artists announcement in the upcoming weeks. This will be open to all artists in the Seattle area.
Finally, we will be holding two additional informational meetings next month. They will be on Tuesday, May 3 at 6:30 p.m. and Saturday, May 7 at 10:30 a.m. to accommodate those who were not able to make our March meetings. Details to come.
With the excitement that spring ushers in,
SuJ'n
