San Carlos Art Walk Winds Down for the Summer

This Thursday, August 26th, 2010 will be the final San Carlos Art Walk for the summer. The Farmer's Market will continue for two additional weeks into September. In this second summer of the San Carlos Art Walk event there were some success stories. A couple of the artists were commissioned to do other art projects for private citizens or others. Some artists made big sales and some artists made their first sales. Overall it was a fun summer on the sidewalks of San Carlos. The Artists who stick it out week after week in the same spots have a better chance of becoming recognized, making a sale, greeting regulars and so forth. It is a good opportunity for people happy to see artists on the street and for the artists happy to chat with potential customers about their processes. Everyone wins. Come by this Thursday and say hello and goodbye to your friendly local artists... for now. And don't forget to thank Gail Sjoman of Art Liaisons for her hard work in keeping this event fresh and exciting. I, as Gail's loyal assistant, would also be happy to hear success stories or any tips that might help to improve this important local event for next year. Thursday afternoon 4:00-8:00 p.m. , 600 and 800 blocks of Laurel, on both blocks outside of the Farmer's Market. I am located on the Bianchini's block near Starbucks and VIP Real Estate. Happy Summer Ending!
