The auction of the Gallery went well. Now, it's time to close the shop. We thought the frame shop would have a new owner, but nope! Sorry! All current projects are being completed now. All framing supplies and shop equipment is being liquidated beginning Thursday, May 3rd. Contact me for complete listing. Visa, MasterCard, checks and cash gladly accepted. Time to cut bait and move on to a new fishing hole called retirement!

Time is short! On Sunday, the 22nd, we will be having the final liquidation of all the art formerly in our West River Gallery on 7th Street. Much of it is listed in the virtual gallery on our web page www.backdoorframeshop.com There are literally 100's of great pieces. I will be finishing up projects in the frame shop for the next week or so, then will be closing that too unless a new owner steps up. The shop has had a very busy last four months. I hate to quit when things are so good but there is no time like the present. We will be completely out of the building by May 15th, unless someone steps up. Questions - call me at 355-9730. Happy Trails!!!!

We welcome old friend, Kim ostlund back to the Rapid City arts community. It was her idea to bring the Art Walks to downtown Rapid City back at the turn of the century and before September 11,2001 when the economy and the world seemed to drop off the edge. We are glad that the economy is back and with it Kim Ostlund on Haines Ave.

If you have taken my class on the art of framing and matting and really want to do this stuff, then I have an interesting hands-on Last Hoorah for you this week-end. Earlier this month, I did this with an advanced group of three past students and it was sure a lot of fun!

Here’s the deal. I am having an Open House with my realtor, Dallerie Davis. This will be Saturday (the 31st) from 9 am to 1 pm and Sunday (April 1st) from 1pm to 4 pm. If you want to come along, you will be completing an art project from scratch: you will cut your own frame; mat(s); glass; and select your print from our gallery collection. There is a cost and it is limited to 4 people but everything is included for $25! The project is yours to hang on your wall.

I have enjoyed being in the picture framing business for the past 15 years in Rapid City. I have loved it – but now it’s simply time to move along and turn things over to a new owner. This Open House is a little bit last minute but is part of the transition. Open Houses can be very quiet, but this will utilize the time well and be fun.

If interested, please join me at the Back Door Frame Shop for this last hoorah! You will learn a lot! Call 605-355-9730 to discuss and reserve your spot.

Dallerie Davis said let's have an Open House prior to your Retirement Party - so it's this Saturday and Sunday (the25th and 26th) from 1 til 4 at the Shop. This is also in rememberance of my dear friend and helper, Tim Anast, who lost his life this time last month in a car wreck in Colorado. Watch as three of my great framing students learn more stuff. There will be coffee, cookies, questions answered and demonstrations. Please join us!
