We did it!

I am looking at the evaluation forms for the Fall Folio Feast and smiling.
"Very classy event."
"Excellent [art] quite a variety."
[Enjoyed],"the atmosphere, the speaker, the food too!"
"Great to meet other illustrators and talk about the business."
"Very friendly, informal, professional atmosphere."
"Food was lovely."
[Enjoyed]" meeting illustrators and buyers."
"Terrific [art] very high quality."

I am so pleased. It was so satisfying to look around yesterday and see what I had envisioned and worked for so many months become a reality. The abstract thought/idea/concept becoming concrete.

The event spurred interest in the organization and, I think that through word of mouth, we will grow. The art buyers were impressed by what we had to offer. I hope they too will spread the word. Perhaps when they are looking for someone to hire, they will come to our website first.
