Snoqualmie gallery reports early merchandise sales, readies labels and expanded classes
Summary
Commissioners reported two sales from a newly painted rack and discussed printing labels for prints, gallery staffing (Mondays and Saturdays, 2–5 p.m.), and expanding community classes including an oil‑painting instructor and plans for up to four community classes next year.
Members of the Snoqualmie Arts Commission said recent gallery merchandising work has already produced sales and that the commission will refine labeling and staffing to support continued activity. "We sold 2," Speaker 2 reported after posting photos of gallery items.
The group described a new spray‑painted rack, matted prints packaged in plastic and plans to print address/price labels for the back of items so buyers can see artist names and prices. Speaker 3 (Nicole) offered to stop by the gallery and help size labels and center them so taped backs do not shift.
Commissioners discussed community classes and instructor recruitment: an oil‑painting instructor who charges more than some local teachers has been contacted and indicated willingness to teach younger students as well as adults. Speaker 2 said the commission aims for four community classes next year (three this year) and will coordinate with library scheduling during the rainy season (October–May). Members also discussed reserving or using a first‑come, first‑served sign‑up model after library staff said they prefer not to collect attendee locations.
There was no formal vote or budget allocation recorded in the transcript; the discussion focused on operational steps: label printing, volunteer staffing, and instructor outreach.
