Show Report: Art & Jazz

I was honored to be invited to participate in the Marlboro Arts Council Art & Jazz fundraising evening last week. This is an evening with live jazz, a number of artists who set up small displays, an open wine bar, and heavy appetizers to raise money for summer arts programs for local children.

The artists pay a small fee to show, the supporters pay to come for the evening, local elected officials donated and poured the wine, and it was a wonderful evening – black tie optional. And to my surprise, most folks were dressed to the nines!

They had a great crowd, the jazz band was absolutely fabulous, food was good. I got lots of attention but few sales at my display, but one sale was a major one, so the night was definitely worth it! The jazz was so good it would have been worth it just for that….

Plus another arts group was there to check out the event, and got my card to invite me to something similar they are planning! I handed out lots of business cards, so I’m still hoping that some sales will come from those also.
