Artist relocating to STT

Hello Katalin,

Not sure if you saw my prior response to your inquiry on this but here it is:

You can make it work, but may find it necessary to do different things; teach the one class at UVI, have a few private students, sell art work, participate in arts & crafts shows like the ones Tillett Gardens hosts two or three times a year http://tillettgardens.com/, join artists organizations like http://www.stjohnarts.org/ and participate in their projects. There are some artists that teach art at resorts, for example http://www.artbylucinda.com/class/. A couple of the summer camps offer various arts; the one that comes to mind is Hintz Academy of Music - they also offer regular classes during the year but in terms of the summer program Ms. Hintz works with other artists to offer the children dance, art, music - (340)774-1905. The St. John School of Arts is another place you could contact (340)779-4322. Hope the additional contacts help get you more options.

Dear Islander,
Thank you so much for all your very good advise. I will contact the places at once.
I contacted Lucinda who teaches at Ritz, but didn't find out how she got to do it.
She said Marriott has an artist too, but they didn'tell me that when I called them, but also cant's get a proper response from them either.Should have gone there in person and skip a lunch instead.
i know there are some artists who get together to draw.
I talked to Mango Tango and she offered her gallery space to me to teach from there.But I dodn't know how many people would be interested. I will aproach galleries avcause to sell my work.It just... you know... Guess I will just have to advertise on my own and make it happen somehow.
