Press release here:
Dave and I have been working hard at Planet Art and have appreciated everyone who has walked in the door. We especially appreciate our friends who’ve helped us along the way and our paying customers (muchas gracias!). We are ready for our next step in our business goals, a little Reciprocity if you will…hosting an eARTh Day celebration and art benefit for Arts for Life, RiverLink, and Appalachian Voices.
We would like for you to be our guests at our grand opening, which we are calling THE BIG BANG. There will be food by Colorful Palate Catering and the Magnetic Fields Cafe, homebrew by Alex from Hops and Vines, and fabulous door prizes (so far a dozen cupcakes from Short St. Cakes, $10 gift cert to West End Bakery, and tickets to Magnetic Fields are up for grabs). Local business attending will receive 20% off for LIFE! Now’s the time to get your art out of the closet. Frame it on our frame sale day…or sell it in our yART sale! The Costume Shoppe on Lexington is giving Planet Art party go-ers 10% off your rental or sale!
We need lots more people to walk in the door if we are to continue our venture in the River Arts Galaxy. Small businesses are the backbone of our town and for them to succeed, word of mouth advertising is key! Please forward to everyone in your address book if you are comfortable doing so. Much good karma will come your way. If your name is dropped at any time (not just the weekend), you’ll get $10 off framing or chair caning!
Thanks so much for your help and we hope to see you eARTh Day weekend.
