For this Episode of the Art Palaver Podcast I get out of the studio and start my mission of having palavers with artists and those who are in the art business. Leap of Faith Fine Art Gallery opened in May here in Fort Collins Colorado. It is co-owned by Melanie Valentine and Nick Roberts. I took my recorder and my microphone and headed down there to hear their take on opening an art gallery in 2009.
The gallery does not have a web site yet but you can email Leap of Faith at leapoffaith [at] q.com

Your going to be hearing this a lot from me here on Art Palaver, as an artist you need to work on building a fan base first, then worry about selling your art. No matter what medium you work in, you can and should develop a fan base, a group of people who really care about you and your work. So much so that they will give you money to enable you to continue doing your work. Usually in trade for your art but musicians are learning a new way to get money from fans.
