Dear friends and family, Since last year I have felt soo burnt out from doing events, what once brought me such joy and happiness has truly done the opposite. My heart has not been into it lately, Almost 20+ years of doing Art Shows and community events, Meeting so many new people and making such great friends along the way, Artist 2 Artist Showcase got its name from the thought of creating a avenue to help other artists get established in the business, creating Brand awareness, to prove to artists that even if they dont believe in them selves we as artists do believe in you and we will support each other ARTIST 2 ARTIST.. I loved helping artist establish their brands and even putting there small business on the map, bringing the latin culture and events into the area. Working with Sheri Street to bring First Fridays in Discover Downtown Temple to life, Not many know that A2A Showcase was one of the oringinal Vendor and Stock Holders for first Friday's, also including the Royal Art Street walk in Salado, Tx. We held events all over the state and even expanded a branch to Portland, Oregon and Also Brownsville, Tx. What a journey it has been, But I have put a lot of thought on what's next for Artist 2 Artist Showcase , and I feel its time to take a step back, I think I just need a break maybe, So as of right now, I will no longer be doing any First Friday's with the exception of 2 Art Showcases that im contracted to host, We im done for now. It has been a pleasure. it really has. Thank you to everyone who have attended one show and too all those artists and vendors thank you. to all my friends thank you for all the support throughout the years. Now, we will prepare for the next step.
