We got the Pop-Up Grant! Yay!

Now to start navigating all the things we have to get into place before we can launch the Tiny Galleries.

Bob’s brilliant Explainer video was something I wanted on the site, but it can’t be loaded using the Video widget, oh, no. You have to try and fail a bunch of times, and then look up the kludges that work for other folks. Like pasting in the link in the URL bar – while watching the video.

Bob and I have applied for a local PopUp Grant, and are excited about the possibility of building two of these PopUp Tiny Galleries in our community of Santa Rosa, California. Bob has designed a simple cabinet design with a keycode entry. Artists obtain the keycode, bring a piece of art, and swap it for a piece to take home. In this way, the show in the Tiny Gallery is crowd-curated. We look forward to the opportunity to build these and see what the artists in our community can do with them.
