Creative Financing - Painting site up and running
Thinking about the shop a bit today. I will have to be very creative to get this building going. Might look into state of GA, or White Co. grants for arts as a source of some funding. We could do print making or woodworking workshops or a combo of both. Space could be rented for events to companies or organizations like Highland Hardware or Atlanta area artist groups. Actually— this has always been part of the original idea for the shop. The bedrooms are only to give you the luxury of time—allowing you to sleep over and work on projects requiring equipment and space continuously while you stay for a few days—or as long as you need. The bedrooms could be used as offices or rooms for visiting artists. The shop part of the building is 930 sq. ft., the studio adjacent to the main room in the other wing is 247 sq. ft. . We already have the all the woodworking equipment. A Intaglio or letterpress could be set up in the studio. This facility is adjacent to most of North Georgia’s premier tourist attractions— Helen, the Chatahoochee river and National forest, Unicoi Park / Smith Lake, and Lake Burton is only 15 miles away. So there is plenty of inspiration and recreation near by.
This week we found some time at AutoMedia and finally published the bosses artwork on line. Please visit: EdCahill.com and enjoy the galleries —more to come. Contact me with any questions you may have at autoeac@mindspring.com.
