aBuzz Gallery is opening May 2 in the old Dry Ice Factory in the RiNo Art District.
The 1,200-square-foot gallery, at 3340 Walnut St., will showcase emerging and established artists in all media.
aBuzz is changing how artists and galleries interact. At each solo show, exhibiting artists will be given a customized marketing plan and instructions on how to execute a business model developed by internationally known fiber artist and gallery owner Carol Ann Waugh. aBuzz also will publicize artists through its newsletter and web site.
"When I became a full-time artist four years ago, I was amazed at how little artists knew about how to market their work to potential buyers," Waugh says. "Most art departments at colleges don’t spend much time on giving students the skills they need to make a living as an artist, so mission in opening this gallery is to do just that."
Artists will pay a flat fee to showcase their art for three weeks. Each artist will have opening and closing receptions, artist talks and participate in First Fridays. The gallery will not take commissions on works they sell.
The gallery’s opening reception is from 6 to 9 p.m. on Wed. May 2.
