Post 300: Artist Inventory Sale in Manassas

Artist Inventory Sale in Manassas April 23, 2023 

Sunday, April 23, 2023 Harris Pavilion, Manassas, VA. The Spring Artist Inventory Sale sponsored by Mike Flynn was supposed to be Saturday, April 22 but was switched for the rain date of the next day. Good thing. Saturday afternoon rain was pretty intense. Sunday started off really nice, but ended up getting quite cool later in the afternoon and then once again, rain.

One of the best things I have found when joining a local art groups is making friends within those art groups. The camaraderie and benefits of being a part of a group are numerous including being able to participate in more shows for exposure and the knowledge base (and experience) within those group members is HUGE.

This was my first "solo" show although some of my friends from the Manassas Art Group (MAG), from the Prince William Art Society (PWAS), and from P-ART-Ners were all there. It was good to see them all!

Not only can you go to group art shows with your friends, but you can help each other out. A friend can watch your booth will you take a necessary break or grab lunch. Including getting a slice of pizza in the white building above. The largest pizza I have ever seen in my life meant that the slice of pizza was HUGE too. 

With Jortt on one side of me (John Hartt) and Mark Murphy and his wife Lori on the other side, I had artist buddies all around. The MAG group was further down and P-ART-Ners were directly across. 

AND Lessons Learned: Bring a coat. A Blanket. An umbrella - NO MATTER what the weatherman says.

Nonetheless, it was a fun time, made a few sales and got to see some friends.
