Getting the Elephant Off the Ground

Do I Look Like an Elephant?

River Run Gallery 

and Fun Art Studio

Opening up a new business is not for the faint of heart.  There are so many details, and every time I think I have a handle on it and am closing in on the end, the end moves and more details rear their elephant like head. 

Lease, paint, carpet, lights, shelving, signs, licenses, tax numbers, art hanging system, artists, forms for everything, tables, chairs, business cards, bags, email address, blog, website, calendar of events for July, business plan, are you getting the idea yet.

I'm ticking off detail after detail and we are on target to have the building turned over to us by July 1 and I have a tentative, wait I better put that in great big caps, TENTATIVE grand opening date of Wednesday, July 9 at 10 a.m. with an opening reception and meet the artists night that same night from 6 -8 p.m.

I have about a zillion glass shelves to clean.  I should be done sometime in 2015.  Just kidding.  But there's a lot of glass shelves to display some really great art beautifully.

Pencil us in for July 9, or you can use a brush.  (A little artist humor).

Check back in a few days to see what's going on with that list.
