DID YOU KNOW ?
You can have your artistic creations and images captured professionally in several places and reproduced in many ways.
If you would like to be able to make a professional portfolio like our August Speaker and Willowbrush Gallery Owner Rachel Wimpey was talking about….
(Having your art in a professional portfolio in proofs and/or CD’s to submit to a gallery)
You can reproduce your artwork and artistic creations for others to enjoy, whether it’s by creating Giclees’ (copies of your original art), magnets, postcards, coffee mugs, mouse pads, aprons, bags, plaques, coasters, cutting boards, and even lamp shades…..along with a host of other options available.
There are several places around town that can capture and reproduce your images for your portfolio, however, you want to make sure it is done with QUALITY, and INK that will last. Sometimes you may find a place that is cheaper, but it may use a lower quality ink, paper, or product and not provide long lasting, vivid color you are hoping for.
Just think about it….Christmas is coming and professional portfolios are needed…..
Maybe you can recreate your art work and make some nice Christmas presents for your family, neighbors, co-workers, or friends…
Several of our Alpha Rho Tau Members go to one particular favorite here in Tulsa.
Here’s the name of one Great Place to have that done…and they are Alpha Rho Tau Members Also:
