Street Art
It’s been a while; I have been pondering selling my art on
the pavements of New York City. After
careful research on the must have to sell Art in New York City, things like tax
ID and Paypal Here. I began scouting areas of the city to set up. Discover the Parks Department designates
areas where art can be sold. With this information, one lovely Saturday in
spring I scouted an area close the Metropolitan Museum of Art. I found the perfect
spot not the prime number one spot but the number two, one block from the Museum. Now I am ready. With little sleep filled with anxiety I raise
early Saturday July 14th head down to claim my spot. My spot is gone. Other
vendors had camped out the whole night as they do in the summer. How was I to
know? Advised by kind vendor, two blocks
away between 85th and 86th street they are spots not on
the parks department list however the park rangers will not move you. Found
perfect spot under a tree no overhead sun cool breeze blowing. Now start setting up. First thing to do assemble
easel to display art. Kind gentleman from India gives encouraging advice. Art display is set up on easel. I assemble my chair proceed to take out my
art project for the day. Out of nowhere
a gust of wind blows my easel down with my art, try to reassemble does not work
easel will not stand firm wind continues blowing. I have no alternative I
repack art and disassemble easel. At this moment Guy from India returns
enquires. I must admit taught of giving
up enters my mind. My new friend says “are
you leaving? Don’t give up. I therefore
try something else I displayed art on the container I brought art in, sit
behind carton bracing and taped to my knees. Now I am ready, I take out my art project
which I completed. No sales however a
very rewarding day helps from all round ,woman from Ecuador, Chinese lady who gave me directions to rest room.
