ArtSites Updates

Hi Everyone,

It's been almost 4 months since our last email about Geoff's transcontinental bike tour. We are now one week away (650 km or 400 miles) from our final goal of St. John's, Newfoundland! Geoff has already bicycled 7,775 km (4,830 miles) and has done incredibly well! VanGo - our (T)rusty Van - has had some hiccups along the way, but is persevering! Once we get to St. John's, we are planning to drive all the way back to Vancouver. However, our route is still up-for-grabs! Here's where you come in...

As part of our trip back, we would love to connect with you and your artist communities! So, we are offering free ArtSites Workshops to your artist friends, Artists Guilds/Associations, Artist Collectives, or Artist Co-ops. If you know of a group of artists who might enjoy getting together and setting up a website (individually or as a collective), please let us know and we will plan our return trip accordingly. We have all the technology necessary to do this and all we need from you is a space and 6-10 artists who'd enjoy some sweets, interesting conversation, and of course, some hand-holding and support in getting their artwork online. As an added bonus, we will offer a 20% discount ($80/year) to anyone who purchases one of our websites at the workshop.

As we embark on the end of this phase of our journey, Geoff and I want to sincerely thank you again for your patience, support, and cheering over the past months! We have so appreciated emailing and meeting some of you! And, we sincerely hope to meet many more of you on the way back!

Thanks again for being part of the ArtSites family!

Cheers from Deer Lake, Newfoundland,

Rochelle and Geoff

P.S. If any of you (or your friends) are near Cape Spear, Newfoundland on Monday, September 17th, please come out to celebrate Geoff's mammoth accomplishment! :-)
