So what is the ultimate goal of the Art Garage? Well, I suppose the primary purpose is to create community and spread a sense of goodness and joy in the world. But it would also be nice if it were self-sustaining. What if the Art Garage were a place to learn how to be an entrepreneur? The economy in Peoria is pretty lousy. Especially for the kids in my neighborhood.
The world is an ever changing place, and now more than ever people need to find new and innovative ways to share their gifts, make their way, and find success. What better life training than entrepreneuralism. So one of the ultimate goals of the Art Garage is to create avenues to show and sell our products. Well, just yesterday we had our first buyer. Melody, who is also honorary Art Garage member, was admiring one of the unicorns. She offered us $2.15 for it. Our very first sale! We also had our first donation--two tables, flowers and even an art fund to buy supplies. What a wonderful week!
