Carson City area art galleries invited to think bigger
When Robin McGregor attended her first Entrepreneurs Assembly meeting at Adams Hub for innovation in February of this year, she had no idea what to expect. Robin’s goal was to drive more people into Carson City Art Gallery, which she opened with her husband Rich, in September 2016. The gallery is located in a historic former stagecoach stop at 110 Curry Street in downtown Carson City.
The confidential EA working sessions are designed to help businesses think out, plan, start, or grow a company. Each attendee brings their unique problem to the table, and through interaction with mentors and other business owners, receive guidance and advice. Participants then formulate their own marching orders for the next thirty days. Robin’s marching orders? Her mentor group suggested that she start a think tank for art galleries that represent local artists. Her goal is to make it easier for consumers to identify these artists as they seek to support small businesses.
“We’re committed to representing local talent, and we want to find new ways to get the local market to embrace collecting original art as part of their lifestyle,” says Robin. “We’ve had such a warm welcome from Carson City, and we’re excited about the potential for growth.”
The new LASS (Local Art Support & Sales) will address marketing art in the region, and challenges specific to operating independent galleries. There will be an opportunity to collaborate on cooperative marketing projects, as well. The new Gallery on Main from Genoa has already committed to participation.
“We’re thrilled that there will be a community of like-minded businesses that we can join as we open our doors,” says Carrie Hardison, Gallery on Main owner.
Qualified businesses are invited to join Robin on Monday, May 8th at 1:00 pm, at Adams Hub for Innovation, 111 W Proctor Street in Carson City.
