Many artists have a desire to open their own gallery, but few know how much work and thought actually goes into it. In today’s episode, artist and gallerist Tracy Miller shares her experience of running the Tracy Miller Gallery for the last 7 years. Tracy discusses the journey from Fine Artist, to working in a Gallery, then opening her own gallery in Manitou Springs, Colorado. She talks about what type of artists she chose to work with, why she chose the specific location of Manitou Springs, the style of Art of the New West, challenges she overcame when running the business, how to still paint and have time for your own art when running a business, and advice she would give to others looking to open their own gallery. Tracy also talks about her decision to close down her gallery and focus more on her own work as an artist. In this interview, you will hear Tracy talk about: Her background as a fine artist, and how her experience with wholesale helped her later with becoming well versed in retail. Her experience working 5 years at an art gallery in downtown Denver, and why she feels working at a gallery before opening one is crucial. How Tracy Miller Fine Art came to be in 1994, and then evolved into Tracy Miller Gallery in 2011. Why Tracy chose Manitou Springs, Colorado as the gallery location, and how the mix of tourists and locals was a smart choice for her business. Why 70% of her sales ship out of state, and the importance of running a good virtual business on social media and your website. The importance of maintaining studio hours when you are an artist-gallerist. What Art of the New West means stylistically, and how the wildlife, landscape and Western themes are brought to life in a contemporary and colorful manner. The vision that Tracy brought to curating a cohesive gallery that some say fits perfectly together like a jigsaw puzzle. How Tracy chose specific artists for her gallery, and why she recommends working with artists that have tested their art before, engage with their clients and fans, and are active in their own business. Why gallery owners should know the price points of not only the art in their region, but the city or community as a whole. Crunch the numbers, and know the numbers. The success principles of “acting as if” and getting involved with your local community to network. How the internet has changed the way gallerists and artists interact as a collaborative effort rather than separate entities. Overcoming major business challenges, including two fires, floods and road construction projects around her gallery. Why Tracy has decided to close the gallery. Why her profit margin was at least 10% higher than a normal profit margin for retail. The different types of galleries that artists can open, and the choice they have to feature only their work, or create a space featuring both themselves and others.

Steelers 31 vs Packers 28 The most important thing about this game is that it made the sleep deprivation that I experienced the next day worthwhile. Given that the result hung in the balance until the FINAL SECONDS, I couldn't get my heart rate down until well after time had expired and the interviews had been completed. Listen, as Steeler fans we realize that a 13.5 line from Vegas never bodes well. The Packers game continued the curse as the Steelers permitted Brent Hundley to look like an NFL quarterback. Yes, all of this analysis is really about style points, and although there was plenty of ugly, there was more to admire and celebrate. The Killer B's were back to form and AB ascended Mt. Olympus once again to take on the mantle and lead the Steelers to the promised land. I suggest that we just ENJOY BEING 9-2! Enjoy football! Enjoy seeing legends doing legendary things! What drama! What ART!!! THEMES The pass defense is in CRISIS The Killer Bees are Buzzing We played to level of our competition 5 Pivotal Plays AB's 23-yard, sideline catch (1st and 10 @ Pgh 30 with 0:17 to go) Randall Cobb's 39 yard TD reception Davante Adams' 55 yard TD reception TJ Watt SACK with 1:20 left in the game and GB 1st and 10 at its 18, stuffing a potential clock-draining FG-scoring drive Boz NFL Heinz Field record 53yd fg to win game!
