Golf and Gifts


This is one of the coolest, original ideas I've heard for an arts/craft show in a long long time.


Art Out of Thin Air, the energetic year-old artists' organization in Grand County, Colorado, is holding its first member show at the new Pole Dreek Golf Course Club House in Tabernash.

The show will be held from July 2 through July 23, 2009 with a Show Opening and Artists’ Reception on Thursday, July 2 that sounds like it's going to be a lot of fun.


Each artist is allowed to show two items for display and sale (or not). If an item sells, the artist can replace it with another through the duration of the show.


The show not only gives local artists exposure to an audience that may not usually attend arts and crafts fairs. It's also an audience known to have money and taste. In return, the public golf course gets to show off its new clubhouse while its filled with art and people.


I'm thinking my hand-quilted pillows using vintage golf posters reproduced on fabric may be the perfect things to display.


The fee to participate is minimal: $25 to show one artwork or $30 for two. The money will be used for advertising and other necessities. In a great gesture, Art Out of Thin Air organizers promise to return any money left over to the artists.


The deadline to acknowledge your intention to participate is Friday, June 5. Grand County, Colorado, artists who are interested in participating should contact info@artoutofthinair.com
