I began this necklace with one of my Arizona Big Lips Lampwork Bead Fish.
This "Arizona Fishing Expedition" is done with off loom bead weaving and clusters of beads.

16th Annual Holiday Party
6pm - 8:30pm
Arts Prescott, Cooperative Gallery was founded 16 years ago by a group of Prescott artists. The gallery is still owned and operated by local artists.
The gallery offers original fine arts and fine crafts in a warm and friendly atmosphere. One of the goals of the gallery is to seek out opportunities to serve and support the greater Prescott community. Over the years this has ranged from direct do ations of works of art and money to community
organizations to hosting shows featuring work of students from local schools and the works of various local master artists in all mediums.
One of the main benefits Arts Prescott Cooperative Gallery is that the public meets and works directly with the artists that created the artwork displayed in the gallery. The gallery is conveniently located in the heart of Whiskey Row at 134 S. Montezuma Street in downtown Prescott, Arizona.

Artists, generally speaking, are not thought to be great economists. You probably wouldn't think you would see an artist in front of Congress explaining the current state of commerce. Too bad, Congress might learn a thing or two. In the middle of Prescott we have a group of artists-economists who know a lot about the economy because they deal with it everyday with paint, stone, clay, glass, metal and leather.
Arts Prescott Gallery, in the heart of Whiskey Row, has twenty- three gifted people bound together in a cooperative that both feeds their artistic and physical appetites. This year is their 16th anniversary of doing business in Prescott. Some years, like these, have been leaner, some years have been roaring. Throughout them all the co-op gallery has steadily generated good arts and fine craft for the enjoyment of the community and its visitors.
Artists have several choices when it comes to getting their art out. Traditional galleries, the show circuit, professional competitions, the internet and co-operative galleries like Arts Prescott. All but the last demand that the artist go it alone. Artists within the co-op are still individuals, doing their own work, meeting their own obligations and risks but when the creative well dries out a bit, or the flow of funds slows down, those artists can look to their partners for advice, commiseration and
encouragement. Sounds good doesn't it, creative independency and commercial partnership.
16 years is a long time for a small business, here's wishing them another 16. -- Join the Party...November 27, 2009 The 16th Annual Holiday Party from
