Hi, I'm the new guy and have an idea I've been thinking about for a while. I am opening an optometry office in Centennial CO and have a lot of wall space. I want to be able to feature local artist's work in my office. One of the themes of my office is "Whats Worth Seeing?" and many of the photos I have seen on this site exemplify this theme.
I was wondering if there is any interest in having your work displayed in my practice? Ideally I would like to have an artist of the month or quarter. I would feature the artist on my website and display business cards in the office. I am not interested in selling your work or in charging any money to display photos. This is simply something I thought would be nice for the practice and community.
I hope this is okay to post here. My apologies if I am breaking some rule i couldn't find.
Very generous of you to offer this. I would be interested in the opportunity to display some pics.

sounds great guys. I will make a schedule to let you know when it's your turn. I am pretty busy right now but will get the details worked out in the next few days.

Great idea Darren, and very generous too! I'd like to participate as well, put me on the list.

I'd like to participate if you want some bum from California on your wall

I'm a little too far away to participate but I do think this is a great idea. I'd like to recommend that you show each artist for 3 months as it's a lot of work to prepare photos for an exhibition and one month isn't enough time to justify the time and financial expense. Great idea though, and I wish everyone the best of luck!

Thank-you for the generous offer to the group. Interested, but I'm likely a year or more away. May I contact you then?

Wow, I am impressed by the response. I am going to stop taking volunteers now cause this is quite a list.
Kari of course you may contact me at that time.
As mentioned before I will be putting together the details then will let you all know how to we can proceed.
Thanks

I'm interested. I live just next door in Highlands Ranch. My photos at GlennSackett.com are available; 10 of them (20x30) are in Parker Adventist Hospital's new wing. I also have a group of 10 or 12 small/medium photos framed and ready to hang that were in another exhibition. GlennSackett at gmail dot com

Sorry for the long delay everyone. The practice is up and running and we have Jason's and Ryan's photos up and they look fantastic. I will be contacting the next in line to see when we can get you scheduled to show your work.
