Free Little Art Gallery Old Town West FoCo (at Woodford and Shields)

Ooooo! Got something in the mail today! And that means new artwork in the gallery tonight. A big thank you to @milicent210 for mailing a painting, postcards, stickers and magnets (*gasp* magnets! 🥰). Sophia’s equestria girls set up the painting and the post cards, Mini Mulan got the stickers situated and Snowdrop decided that magnets are comfy. 💜💜💜 #artsnailmail #newartwork #newart #millicentart #catswillliedownonanything #wegotmail #equestriagirls #babymulan #minimulan #funkopopvanellope #catsinthegallery #artgallerykitty #stickerart #magnetart #magnetartist #weloveourgallery #peekaboo 🐝💛🐝

We had some lovely art dropped off earlier this week. A couple of pieces made there way home with some of our wonderful neighborhood patrons (I think? 😀). And, as it’s food truck rally season again, Jasper and Pietra brought in a couple of magnetic sketches from last year’s rallies photographed from Nina’s sketchbook. 

Lots of art in the gallery today! Note: while we love getting new art in, we love seeing artwork in the gallery go on to find a home with one of you. You don’t have to bring something to exchange to a piece of art in the gallery. If you see something you like, please take it with you or give it to someone special. Hope to see you soon! 🥰🥰🥰 (pssst, @bsebek, your lilac sketch got picked up! 💜💜💜) #freelittleartgallery #littlefreeartgallery #miniart #animeart #juiceart #butterflyart #minisketchbook #gelpenart #beadwork #hempbracelet #urbansketch #streetsign #streetsignsketch  #fortcollinsartgallery #fortcollinsartists #heartsinart 🦋🦋🦋

It’s been a lovely weekend at #flag_focowest. We got to see a friend when she dropped off a beautiful drawing of lilac in bloom. A new addition to our team arrived on Friday: Jasper from @stickybones.pose started off helping with the 2nd phase of the yarn bomb on the gallery pole. Walter did some maintenance in the gallery. And @nisotema and Nina did a bunch of work on the flowerbed behind the gallery while Mingo supervised. 🧡🧡🧡 #flag #freelittleartgallery #littlefreeartgallery #fortcollinsartgallery #artexchange #yayforart #excitedaboutart #yarnbombing #knitbomb #catsofinstagram #stickybonespose #busyinthegalley #artdropoff 💛🐝🧡🐈‍⬛💙

 We got a surprise in our gallery this morning! 😍😍😍 Someone took one of Sophia’s little books and filled it up with wonderful little drawings. What a treat to see! 😍😍😍 #freelittleartgallery #littlefreeartgallery #flag_focowest #fortcollinsartgallery #coloradoartgallery #minisketchbook #minibook #miniart #artexchange ❤️❤️❤️

 A big thank you to Jenn Schieman of Fort Collins for our very first (not-Sophia-or-Nina 😉) contributions to the gallery! Two beautiful hemp bracelets. 🥰😍🥰😍🥰 

 It’s official! The gallery is ready!!! Walter got the easels up and Marcelo wrapped up a few last minute things. Huzzah!  🐞Much like Little Free Libraries, you may bring art to display and take art if you like. You’ll find us at the corner of Shields and Woodford in Fort Collins.  🦉Sophia made some mini books and we’ll likely often have some sort of mini sketchbooks and 2”x3” cards if you want to grab one, make some art and bring it back later to display (watercolor paper, card stock, multi-media board and cartón).  😮For those of you not yet familiar with Free Little Art Galleries, I recommend small works of art (smaller than a postcard). Paintings, sketches, beadwork, ceramics, etc, all welcome. Any age, any level. We don’t have our sign up yet but we’re hard to miss. 

Getting close with lots of help from our favorite Brazilian! Still got some work to do. We expect it to be ready for YOUR artwork in a day or two. 😀🥰😀🥰😀 #flag #freelittleartgallery #fortcollinsartgallery #fortcollinswest #artgallery #underconstruction #superexcited #miniartgallery
