back to normal around here.

house swept clean. school days begin again. looking forward.

i have a lot of hopes, it turns out. and some bigger than "i hope my hair grows back faster this time."

also, it turns out, many of the things i hope for have to do with our gallery. i think we're lucky to get to work for ourselves, and be a part of the growth of our hometown, and work with each other, and work with and promote people and artwork that we genuinely admire.

someone once told us (someone who should know) that it takes ten years for a business to really thrive. 2010 marks year number four for eyebuzz fine art. so we're hanging in there, and we have some exciting things planned for the next few months. more on that as things progress.

this post completely did not start out to be this, but i guess what i'm saying is: thank you!
thank you to everyone who has encouraged us to keep going just by coming through our door, or even, by coming to our site and checking out what it is we are doing.
thank you to everyone who has supported us not only by buying a piece of artwork...but also by coming to openings and third fridays and making us feel that we are, indeed, building the sort of community we envisioned when we first hatched the idea of a gallery.

and last, but definitely not least: thank you to all of the artists who have taken a leap of faith and entrusted their artwork and their names to our little gallery. to support and promote the kind of passionate, dedicated, creative and talented artists that we have had the honor to work with these past few years is why we are doing what we are doing. and it is for them, as much as ourselves, that we hope for many good things to come for eyebuzz in 2010 and beyond.

so, here's wishing that some of what you all are hoping for comes true this year, too.

thanks for reading.
