“It was cool you brought up about the Voland art gallery. I haven’t exhibited myself, personally, in it, but I know women’s painting groups and stuff like that that have used that facility to rent and I think, when there’s a glut in spaces, that’s a very useful service to offer. If you’re not in a high-end gallery or a low-end gallery, you wanna show your work, you’re an emerging painter or artist of sorts, photographer, what have you. That’s a great thing. You pay your money down. You have your space and it’s up to you to learn how to promote, to hang it, to do all that.

It’s a great learning opportunity, too. I’m big on that, as well. Learning how to hang your show properly. How do you get people to come to your show? Preparing your invitation, your press release, going to the media. That, whether they know it or not, they’re offering that service to people who are in that state of their career, which I think is really cool. I’m glad to hear that.”
