Or at least moving in! I signed my lease yesterday for my new gallery at the Landing. Lots of stuff to do to get ready, most importantly is getting my electric turned on!
I also had a FABULOUS time last night at the MOCA enjoying the exhibit, the madhouse crowd of people who came to see and selling RAM Art Gallery squares. We sold several and had a lot of people come and ask about them. Exciting times!

Special Acknowledgements
Thank you to our sponsors, our in-kind sponsors, our volunteers and all the talented people who have offered to help as well. We couldn’t have pulled it all off without you. Check out our special sponsor square exhibition at the event. There are three people, however that have been deeply embedded in this project and we want you to know that they’ve been working extraordinarily hard to make this a memorable moment in Jacksonville. We are unspeakably grateful for their time and talent:
Doug Eng, Photographer

You’ll hear from us via Facebook between now and next Wednesday, but at the MOCA Unveiling, please come up and introduce yourselves if we don’t know you already, so we can thank you personally. You’ve made this powerful and imaginative and a lifetime memory for both of us.
See you on the 1st!
Elemental Gallery and Studio will move in to Suite 110 at the Jacksonville Landing starting September 9!
Come by and see me. This will be an exciting time – getting all things ready to go!
I had a fun weekend with my younger cousin (12 years old) in Ft. Myers. I brought down my small kiln so we could make some glass pendants for her party. The girls had a blast! I will post pictures of their beautiful work when I get them from my mother’s camera.
On the gallery front, things are progressing I should be installed very, very soon. I will keep everyone updated.
We have new squares to post from Allison Watson, Jim Draper, Roger Otto and Doug Coleman. Several others are in the works as we speak! So excited!
And don’t forget the Imagination Squared exhibit opening on Wednesday, September 1 during Art Walk. Be there if you submitted work for a group photo!
