Spain,      Hi Chris
Had an absolutely brilliant day! - thought i'd let you know how it went 
& include a few pics.
 
I'd advertised the day would start at 1pm and run till 8pm, but the 
first visitors arrived at 11am and they were solid till the last left 
at 8pm - even queuing outside studio to get in at one point!     (We 
were handing out free wine & tapas & had to send out for more wine.)
 
12 out of 14 of the artists that said they'd exhibit did - from UK, 
Ireland, Sweden & Denmark - each exhibiting one piece of work & 
advertising their classes etc. and we must have had over 100 people 
thro too.
 
It had free advertising in local free paper, local tourist office asked 
me for info for them to advertise, I was invited onto local TV to 
promote it, etc.
 
Many of the artists that came (& exhibited) hadn't met other artists in 
the area, so we will probably meet socially every month or so now with 
view to forming co-operative to run our own gallery perhaps.
 
One 62 year old artist came whom I hadn't met before & met another 
ex-pat from UK (86 years old) who comes to my life classes and they 
realised they knew each other from 40 years (& 1000 miles) ago!  As the 
younger one's father had taught art in the older one's house then.    Martin
