Hi everyone!!!
My name is Jae and I'm from NJ.
My day job is an account coordinator for a cosmetics company. I love my job and am so blessed to have been able to get this position and be adopted into the company family.
But I have a project that drives my every waking moment. And that's my gallery. I am opening a gallery that is going to be the first of its kind in this area (northern NJ). It is a gallery dedicated exclusively to showcasing the work of local artists; In exchange, artists host community art classes, free of charge.
During the day we are an interactive art gallery and art classroom, open to artists of ALL mediums.
During the weekend evenings, Down the Rabbit Hole Bazaar offers local vendors and small business owners the opportunity to showcase their work to the public.
I have a drive to provide a creative outlet for the kids of my community, including my own. Giving them an opportunity to learn from real artists and study the different avenues available to them for their different talents. Kids heads are often too involved in their tablets and video games... Why not get some family time in, free of charge.
Although I'm good at sales, I don't come from a business management background so at times I do feel a bit overwhelmed with the process of it all so I am soooo thankful I found this forum. I really hope to gain any insight I can from the online community and am eager to pick your brains. I do have an investor and I have put everything on the line (quite literally) and am pumping my own money into this, more than 75% of every paycheck.
Any advice or point in the right direction would be awesome!!
