The Backstory Begins

Getting art and the public's eyeballs in the same spot isn't easy.  On a great New England day, sunshine, breezes - you don't hear the rallying call "Let's go to the museum!"
You don't throw some munchies, a suit and towel into the car, grab friends, and look at paintings. Save that crap for another time, or preferably, for someone (anyone, maybe your grandma) to do.

NOT SO FAST! You've just jumped into the loser line. Art is everywhere now, like it, admit it, or not. Here are some places that the Gypsies have painted or shown their art in the past two years.

a tribute to art showings
                                    we have done this in a park
                                    we have done this in the dark (restaurant)
                                    we have done art in an alley
                                    we have shown it in a gallery
                                    we have done it in a bank
                                    we have done this adjacent to a (brewer's) tank
                                    we have shown in a pop-up
                                    we have shown in a senior health center (no, it doesn't rhyme)
                                    we have put art on the street
                                    I put art on a wooden seat.

What won't we do for art?  Not much
