Double Dip Gallery

Post by Tony Segale »

Most recent gold leaf window is for myself. Decided to open my own gallery, two blocks from my home and shop,
display my watercolor paintings and gold leaf work. To lure visitors inside, I added a 16 flavor ice cream cabinet at the back of the 50' deep gallery. After opening a few weeks ago, I discussed three future commercial sign jobs, one possible mural, sold four paintings, commissioned to paint another, and a lot of ice cream. I'm set up to work in the gallery on commercial or fine art pieces.
After designing the logo, I felt the amount of gold leaf for my place would not be limited, within design reason.

If the risks are little, the reward is little.

Tony,

Looks very nice. I really like the matte pattern in the band. Hope you have great success in your new venture.

Hey Tony,
This could be a great move to get your art in the public's eye as well as your other talents. Best of all you can be busy on jobs,
while walk in customers peruse your paintings. What is the address?

Thanks all.
The gallery is located at 222 W. Pine St., Lodi, CA, USA 95240
(directly across the street from the front doors to our city hall)

The best part is it is two blocks from my home/studio.
Two more signs are in the plans, I'll add here when completed.

If you are ever in the area, give me notice for the behind the scenes tour.

Congratulations Tony :!: The front looks absolutely wonderful and you should get a lot of foot traffic right there on Pine St. Glad to see that it is paying off in selling your artwork and more sign jobs. Two blocks eh? You can walk to work. :mrgreen:
