Art Parties Seattle
Additional Information
"We now have three monthly locations. They each have their own special atmosphere. Olive You is an intimate space in Greenwood where we can have smaller social events and get to know each other. The Nectar Lounge is my personal favorite because we have room to put on live painting exhibits and live music and the all time favorite Blue Star Cafe. "

Keep Art Alive
Introduction
I've been a painter for over 20 years. Being around my peers and those who appreciate Art is a highlight in my life. I am developing the FAAN meetup to promote myself and other local Artists in Seattle WA and it's wide range of commnities.
Would you like to have an Art Party in your place of business?

I am hosting an Art Party at the BluStar Cafe where I work. We will be holding Parties at the BluStar every other month. The owner and staff are very excited and supportive. I am available to host parties, so let me know if you'd like to have one!

Would you rather order food and cocktails during an Art Party, or purchase Tickets that will go toward buffet and a hosted bar?

Buffets and hosted bars run really smooth in this situation. Having a catered event cuts down on wait time and brings the event together. Ordering directly from the menu gives you more options, but may cost more. Let me know what you'd like to do.

Do you own any original Art?

So much, I'm running out of room. I am very lucky to have represented some amazing artists over the past 10 or so years. I own many pieces of their work and my own.

What type of Art work draws your attention? Painting, collage, photography etc.

I love so many different kinds of media and styles. You can get an idea of what draws my attention by coming to a party and seeing whom I've picked to exhibit with us.

Are you an Artist?

Yes. I live for it! I paint and do collage. And I represent Artists. No matter what I have to do on a daily basis in order to survive, being an Artist always comes first. It's not about getting rich, it's about passion. If a piece sells that's gravy!
