Some Tough Decisions in a Busy Season...
Regretfully Pike Lake Forge has to pull out of Art in Bayfront Park down in Duluth, MN.
It's been a hurdle we want to overcome, but it's simply not feasible at this early stage in our business. We've been prepping, trying to get all the paperwork in check and there's simply much more required (and money too) than anticipated. So maybe in the future, we can plan to do a bit of a tour down south when we go - I think it's the only way we can make money after bringing our metalwork over the border.
On a positive note, we're super busy! Which is great! So this choice frees up our time to focus on some things... such as the Algoma Street proposal for a sculptural piece. We're in the finalist round! Come and check out our maquette at Buskers Fest! There's a lot more going on than that... Carol also has a show with friend Susan Kachor-Conlon this Fall at the Thunder Bay Art Gallery.
