I've recently found more spaces to show artwork but it is difficult to get this type of thing off the ground because it takes about two year of displaying your artwork for sale before your friends and family members have all run out of wall space and quit buying your artwork. Unless you have been consistent within this twenty-four month period in showing your artwork somewhere at least one a month, then you should not expect many people you do not already personally know will be lining up to see it. The idea I have behind this business model is to take the art to the people. I have had the best luck selling artwork in this way in Houston. People are busy! Most work full time jobs and unless they are very serious art collectors or just love to hang with the artists, don't go to galleries. I'm on a mission to bring the artwork to them. Houston artists are some of the best I've ever seen. They is some very high quality artwork to be had from the local artists here. Houston is such a diverse city. People from around the world have come here to work but have brought culture as well, which includes the arts. There is no reason to purchase artwork anywhere other than here. Artists from around the world live and work in Houston.
Creative Energy Art Center is not a place yet but more of a concept. Using other peoples walls in displaying our artwork, Houston artists get out there and get their work in front of those so busy working, they have no time to shop. They have offices to decorate and clients to meet who also have offices to decorate.
Currently, I am looking for artwork for several spaces. Sean Anthony Salons on Chimney Rock is an art gallery with a salon inside it. Very interesting and busy place. NTXGEN Health & Wellness on Dairy Ashford is an art gallery with a health spa inside it. They are in a new location and just getting going. Flying Vine Wine Bar & Bistro in Cypress is a very exciting place. On the water with a brilliant view and relaxing atmosphere, just the place to find great art. And Office in America, also a new business on Savoy Dr. All these businesses are new and locally owned, not big chains. It might take awhile to catch on but I believe this is the way of the future, take the artwork to the people.
For more information about showing your artwork at one of these locations, please see www.creativeenergyartcenter.com
