Hi, Dave:  Thanks for the compliments and the invite.

If you could make contact with a local art gallery, here's an idea:

The local art gallery dedicates a space for exhibiting Independent
Musicians and Artists' works under Open Studios.  In other words, they
set up a space that holds graphics, a literal recording studio that
plays the artists' songs, lets folks record their songs, scans in their
photos, poems, stories, etc.  A monitor displays DVDs of the Independent
Artist, there's brochures, calendars of gigs, bio info, etc.

We eventually will have regional "Galleries" around the country, and
around the world.  These regional "Galleries" will have rotating
Independent Artist exhibits for the local community to visit and see,
just as there are now rotating art exhibits.  Whether it's artists or
Independent Artists like yourself, everything is going multi-media, so
why not start with you, eh?  We can help you put your exhibit together,
working with the gallery contact you might have to help guide us as to
what they might want.  The CD/DVD stuff, you can do, but the design,
content, etc., could be truly enhanced if we had a gallery artist mentor
us.  The best part is, once you have it set up, you'll be selling
recording/recording merchandise (think cafepress.com) off that exhibit
and that's a good thing for the gallery as a revenue enhancement.  Can
you see the posters?  :)

Anyway, once it's in a presentable state, your exhibit now can be moved
from town to town, to city, to state, to country, working for you, and
each gallery that participates.  Want to think about it?  Want to check
it out?  We'd love to be involved, and would try to get as much done
with the gallery contact as possible, to save you grief.

Looking to hear from you,
Tom Poe
