Steven Potts - Branching Out

Shows are Starting back up in 2021!

To our art patron friends and family,

          Lynn and I sincerely hope that you are all safe and healthy.

As many of you know some of the shows are starting back up. We are very excited about this; however, we want to make sure our customers feel welcomed, safe and comfortable joining us again this year. I had, as always, completed many beautiful new pieces to bring to the show and would still like the opportunity to present these works of art to all of you guys still not comfortable coming to our shows just yet.

             If you are still apprehensive about coming to the show, we assure you we will be taking the necessary precautions to keep you as safe as possible in our booth. We will be wearing masks, wiping down surfaces, and supplying hand sanitizer. All of this is to help make you as comfortable as possible.

          Even if you are unable to make it to the show, or are still hesitant about attending, we will extend our 10% discount that we offer at the show to you. In addition to the 10% there will be no taxes gathered because you will be purchasing the pieces online, and we will also extend free shipping as well.

        I have setup all my available pieces on my website (www.mybranchingout.com) in the Gallery 2020 section located on the left side of the website.  Every piece is ready to ship, and to ease your concerns, all my pieces can be cleaned with regular household soap – the same thing you wash your hands with daily.  All pieces will be meticulously cleaned prior to shipping.  And of course, as always, I will work with anyone interested in a commission piece.

You come to art shows for the amazing creativity.  Even we, as artists, are amazed at the artwork and artists around us.  I am humbled to be part of such an inspirational group of people.  Now it is more important than ever to have art in your life.  It brings you joy.  And I am so profoundly grateful that over the years you have chosen me.

Thank you so much,

Steven Potts

Branching Out Wood Art

The Virtual Woodlands Waterway Arts Festival

The Woodlands Waterway Arts Festival 2020 has pivoted to an interactive, online format. A celebration that is designed to bring the joy of fine art and fine crafts into the homes of art lovers in our community and beyond. The festival will kick off Wednesday, October 14 with a Silent Auction featuring original art donated by festival artists, and continue through the weekend of October 17 & 18, when art from over 200 juried artists will be available for sale. Virtual 2020 is a FREE opportunity to engage with artists in their online booths from the comfort of your home. Musical performances, hands-on children’s activities, and informative artists’ panels and video interviews will bring the festival up close and personal. On Friday evening, October 16, the popular VIP Art Dash Party will be transformed into an intimate, virtual experience with an online “happy hour” and raffle for art by Featured Artist and Naturalist, Christina Smith. Artists & Specialty Gourmet Food Vendor Marketplace opens October 16 thru December 31, 2020.

Look forward to hearing from each of you, thanks so much.

To Our Art Patron Friends and Family

          Lynn and I sincerely hope that you are all safe and healthy.

          As many of you know, our shows have been cancelled from now through the end of 2020. I had, as always, completed many new beautiful pieces to bring to you all at the shows and would still like the opportunity to present these works of art to you.  Every city is so unique, with wonderful locales, food, and most of all, the people.  You all are the BEST!  Support for my work over the years has been incredible.  You let me know that my artwork has been appreciated immensely and the number of Art Patrons I have in these areas show it.

        Because I will not be able to exhibit at shows in your area this year, I have setup all of my available pieces on my website (www.mybranchingout.com) in the Gallery 2020 section located on the left side of the website.  Every piece is ready to ship, and to ease your concerns, all of my pieces can be cleaned with regular household soap – the same thing you wash your hands with on a daily basis.  All pieces will be meticulously cleaned prior to shipping.  And of course, as always, I will work with anyone interested in a commission piece.

       A significant part of my costs that are related to exhibiting include booth fees, hotels, airline tickets, gas, etc.  It amounts to about 15% of the cost of each piece.  I would like to pass that 15% savings on to you.  Along with that savings, if between now and December 1st, 2020 I have sold six pieces or more, each purchasers name will go into a drawing and you will have the chance to also win a vessel valued at $4000 with no extra cost to that winner. 

       You come to art shows for the amazing creativity.  Even we, as artists, are amazed at the artwork and artists around us.  I am humbled to be part of such an inspirational group of people.  Now it is more important than ever to have art in your life.  We hope it brings you great joy.  And I am so profoundly grateful that over the years you have chosen me.

Thank you so much,
