Show this Friday, June 19th- Avante Art Gallery


In case you haven't heard, I will be having my first show in over a year this Friday, June 19th. I have been working hard to get things ready, and there should be a nice little crowd there- come celebrate with me. My thanks to gallery owner Brett Steen, my sponsors Schlafly Brewery and Michael Dickens, and local art blogs STL Openings and Art Patrol for posting my event. Thanks also to the incomparable Stefene Russell for posting the show on the St. Louis Magazine online arts blog- really cool! I appreciate it!

Colin Michael Shaw- Assorted Mixed Media Works
Artist Reception Sponsored by Schlafly Brewery
Friday, June 19th from 7 – 10:30 PM
Avante Art Gallery
7225 Manchester Road
Maplewood. MO 63143
Light refreshments will be served.
ALL WORKS WILL BE FOR SALE- WE ACCEPT ALL MAJOR CREDIT CARDS.

For whatever reason, I've been selling pretty well PRIOR TO the show, and getting all kinds of phone calls & e-mail inquiries about pieces from my website, shawart.com in the last three weeks ???
I swear to you, I was bagging up "March" for the show when it sold off my Etsy store the other night! Thank you to my recent patrons Jane Reed, Nick & Cate Sanazaro, Rose Weaver, and Shelly Steiger for your generous support of my work- you all have made me a success before opening night.

I hope that the opening reception goes wonderfully on Friday. I wish I could make it, but I have a bad case of poison ivy and am not going to be able to do much of anything until it clears up.

How long is the show up and what are their regular hours? I'd like to stop in later when I'm well.

I hope you get better soon- that's a Bear!
