Hello everyone,
Thank you so much for your support. We're just at about the 20% mark, which is a great place to be within the first few days. I cannot express my appreciation enough.
I have some exciting news - we're launching a Women+ Supporting Women+ Room at Rage Gems & Jewelry starting with our opening on January 4th. We cannot safely hold classes until summertime, so we're using our classroom space throughout the winter and spring to showcase some local talent and give them an opportunity to make some extra revenue, risk free!
We are excited to introduce our first woman artist, Megan Dionne, who will be showcasing and selling her work in our Women+ Supporting Women+ Room.
*About Megan*
Hi my name is Megan Dionne. I'm a firefighter, nature lover, and adventurer. I love humor and simplicity which if you look closely, you may see among my pieces. I've always seen the beauty in nature and have learned to use it to share joy with others. I love to imagine my art having a home where someone will smile when they see it. Custom orders are my specialty, send me a message with a price range and theme and let me create you something wonderful!
You can come visit my shop and check out Megan's work starting February 4th at 110 State Street in Downtown Portsmouth, and you can contact Megan through FB @dionnedesigns.
Can you help spread the word?
I put out an application last week to fill the Women+ Supporting Women+ Room from February through May and received more applications than I have months! If I can find a $5000 sponsor, I can dedicate twelve months and give each woman+ applicant a chance to showcase their work to the community in prime retail space, risk free. If you know of someone, please send them my way!
Thank you again and I can't wait to share my space with you! - Kathleen
