CESAR CHAVEZ DAY/ OPEN STUDIO TOUR SALES: 2007 Greetings, Good Folk; We, here in Tucson, celebrate Cesar Chavez Day. Well, sort of. The County gives its employees their choice of either the Friday or the Monday around the time of his birth off. We get to pick which day. Nice, huh? Cesar would have like that [I’m taking Monday the 26th off]. Thank U.S. Rep. Raul Grijalva for getting this passed by the Board of Supervisors when he was a member. The City of Tucson, by the way, has yet to enact a C.C. Day. Also, this weekend, the 10th and 11th of March, is the last weekend of the Tucson Open Studio Tour. I’ll be at my studio from Noon to 5 both days, showing off new work and selling Giclee prints of new and old work. Then, just a few minutes ago, while I was having my morning cup of coffee outside of our wonderfully shoddy New Pima County Courthouse, I was stuck by an inspiration. I’m already having a ½ price blowout sale of my images at my studio this weekend. Why not include the entire planet in this, in honor of Cesar, for I was just telling someone that I will always have small prints for sale for close to cost, for people who can’t afford much Art if any Art at all. Affordable Art for the People or something like that. So here’s how it’s going to work: If you are in town, feel free to come on down to the BR-549 studio at 549 North 7th Avenue near Downtown Tucson. (One block east of Stone, one block north of 6th Street). I’ll be there on Saturday and Sunday, the 10th and 11th of March from Noon to 5 P.M. And as I said above, I’m having a ½ price sale at my studio. 13 x 19-inch Giclees, regularly priced at $190 will be $95, and 8 ½ x 11-inch Giclees, normally $45 will be priced at $25. And I have “West of the Fire” CDs for $10 instead of $15 as well. And for those of you in the world at large, or who just can’t make it down, look at my work on my blog or my work on my website, at http://stujenks.typepad.com/my_weblog and http://www.stujenks.com and email me your choices, and I’ll see if I have them in my inventory. Most likely I will have them except for some very old work. I’ll pack up the images you want to buy and mail them to you. There will be a small shipping and handling fee, probably between $3 and $7, depending. The Internet Sale will start right now and end at midnight on Sunday the 11th. Just email me at stujenks@gmail.com with your order and I’ll get to it as soon as I can. And this month, think of Cesar Chavez and how he helped change the world. In the American Southwest, his legacy lives on. Si Se Puede! Yes We Can! Peace in our time, Stu Jenks
