Just a Question (or two)
Okay so if you pick up an issue of the current or you happen to be facebook friends with any local artist it's really easy to find a live art show. Seriously eveybody's a promoter on facebook. You go to the show, you meet some great people, see some cool stuff, maybe even buy a painting or two, but what I am wondering, and maybe you have the answer for, is where are San Antonio's gallery art shows? I'm not talking about First Friday or Second Saturday gallery shows, I'm talking about the real classic style shows with wines and cheeses and large scale works displayed to people who are actual art collectors. Maybe I'm missing the loop, maybe I'm in the wrong loop but I know of tons of places (mostly bars) that have live art shows and a lot of which produce some really good art from some really cool people. It's progressivly getting easier and easier to find live painters, even tonight Art Vibes is going on at Studio 13. Although these art shows are fun and provide us "artists" a great opportunity to display our talents infront of our peers, where and when are we going to display our large scale pieces to a different demographic (the demographic with money). If somebody, anybody could fill me in on that it'd be much appreciated.
