Due to the wet weather (and the Sunday afternoon tornado), Art-a-whirl wasn't as much fun as it could have been. Also, the ongoing double-dip recession has put a serious damper on people's available cash and buying habits. Lots of people walked through the spaces, but I didn't see any money exchanging hands or red "sold" stickers going up on artwork.

I spoke with three sellers this afternoon; two hadn't sold anything this weekend, the third had sold one photo last night, and five today - the latter to a regular customer that would have purchased anyway.

OTOH, there were tons of exhibitors, and plenty of really good art on display. The NorthEast Mpls Arts Assoc (NEMAA) has 500 members, and Art-a-whirl had several non-member exhibitors in addition.

The Minneapolis Art Scene is hopping! But it needs your help. Buy art!
