[img]541|left|Carter Dewberry||no_popup[/img]Have you ever seen an artist’s garage? While many people may fill their storage spaces with tools, holiday decorations or old mementos, in an artist’s garage you are just as likely to find hordes of paintings or finely crafted objects of all shapes and sizes.
For me as a musician, I have hard drives full of musical ideas that have yet to make their way into a performance or on an album. Same thing.
I am blessed to have a few artist friends who have “loaned” me their artwork to hang on the expanse of walls in my artist loft. I gain inexplicable joy every time I go up my stairs and encounter the circus-style wood painting or lose myself in the swirling blue and yellow lines in the painting hung in my office.
What if there was a way to have some sort of subscription-based service where, for a monthly fee, one was granted rotating access to the window of artists’ souls? This could include everything from physical art to music to new culinary delights to new vases and fruit bowls. The artist would gain recognition (and a bit of cash) for her work, the client would have the opportunity to turn his living space into a rotating exhibit of new sensory delights, and the art would get out of the garage – or off the hard drive.
This is what I call a win-win-win.
(All I ask from anyone who may want to pursue this is that they put me on rotation)
