Austin gallerists boosting local art scene with joint collectors' circle

At first, we did not know if we had all been selling to the same group of collectors, but it quickly became clear that there were gaps here and there, that each gallery had their own unique clientele that they could contribute and share with the group... a lot of these collectors might not yet know each other, which made us excited that our group could really gather like-minded individuals and promote art collecting.

Planned events include gallery walkthroughs, a printmaking class, and even a local birdwatching excursion. As new clients acquire art from any of the galleries, they become eligible for nomination to join Fog, the organizers say. There is even a tangible symbol of initiation, as all members receive matching purple Fog keychains, 'almost like friendship bracelets', according to the dealers.
