Wow! It's been a wild ride so far. My wife and I had just got home after a month long vacation up through the wine country into Washington, Victoria, Yellowstone, and then a train trip to visit the Grandchildren in Illinois. I was planning to put my art in a Flagstaff gallery when Kris (my wife) talked to Mary O'Brien and the cooked up the idea of opening an art gallery here in Williams, AZ. In a little over a month we opened the doors even though we were not quite ready. You see the Rodeo was in town and we wanted to capitalize on that fact.
There has been a lot to learn and in following posts we will walk you through the process. I don't want you to think we are experts or even finished but, I am sure you will find the process interesting and even funny at times. Our Grand Opening is October 1st. We have sent out invitations, press releases, radio spots, ordered food and music it looks to be a gala event. We now have a web page www.thegalleryinwilliams.com a FaceBook page thegalleryinwilliams@facebook.com, an email thegalleryinwilliams@gmail.com and now a blog "OH MY"
All I (Tom Williams) wanted to do was produce art, something that would endure my departure from this planet and bring others joy. Never in my wildest dreams did I envision owning and operating an art gallery. So...How did I get here? Well stay tuned and I will try to answer that question as well as acquaint you with the artists and events in our area. Thank you for reading.
The Gallery in Williams is an artists' cooperative. Our blog is about our artists, art events, news, and things we have learned in opening and operating an artists' cooperative. We welcome your comments and observations.
