Janet Day is the FV Library artist for November
Janet's fiber textile art will be on display for the month and there is an opening reception on Thursday, November 5th from 6-7:30 pm. You can meet Janet, enjoy some refreshments and enter a drawing to win one of her unique pieces. Ten percent of each sale benefits the library.
This is from the library publicity flier: "Janet Day is a textile artist in Fraser who incorporates vintage postcards, travel posters, labels and other images into contemporary textile art, including pillows and decorative wall quilts. Her unique art work uses historic images of Grand County, from Berthoud Pass to Rocky Mountain National Park. Her pieces will be displayed inside the Urban Community Meeting Room throughout the month."
Her work is original and really depicts life in Grand County - both past and present.
Janet also makes gift bags for the Tabernash Tavern to hold bottles of wine, a baguette, or a pound of their custom coffee, etc.

Winter Park Market
has a blank wall perfect for exhibiting local artist's work! It would only take 10 or 12 pieces depending on their size and they can be for sale. It's in the center of the store with decent lighting. This is a primo county location for the many visitors we get each year and is frequented by many locals as well. I was just there this morning and spoke to Stehpanie (owner) and she reacted very positively to my suggestion. (She was thinking mural!!) It could be a group, singles, duos, etc. Anyone interested?
If so give me a call at 726-4698 or cell, 531-2906. I'd like to have an idea of the interest when I talk to her further.
By the way, they are working on their new deli (1100 sf) which will also bring in alot of people.

Betty Dick Property in RMNP
I received this from Liza Cervenka:
"The great minds of AOTA are needed to let the National Park Service know what Artists would like done with the old Betty Dick Property located on this side of the RMNP approx. 8 miles from the West Side Entrance....Would you like to see workshops, youth programs, Artists in Residence or ????? No permanent structures would be allowed but Tents on platforms would be allowed for housing......please send your ideas to Liza at glag@grandlakeartgallery.com"
It's nice to see the folks at the park reaching out to us. Please give this some thought - the more ideas, the better!
