Mary's Fine Art Qualified for the Grant Selection Phase

Thank you to everyone who voted and helped push us over
the required 250 votes. Your support is most appreciated.

Mary's Fine Art qualified for the Mission MainStreet grant with 271 votes, 21 over the 250 vote requirement. Thank you to everyone who voted and asked their friends and colleagues to vote too. I had a lot of help. I am so grateful for the amount of support that came my way for Mary's Fine Art.

The next step in the process is to wait. The panel of experts at Chase Bank, who sponsored this grant, will be looking over every application from all small businesses across the country that also qualified. The top twenty businesses, as judged by the panel, will each win the grant money of $100,000. That's a big deal.

I look forward to the good news in September, when the announcement about the winning applicants will be made. I'm holding positive vibes that Mary's Fine Art will be awarded with a grant.

I want to infuse Mary's Fine Art in these areas:

1. Start up my art hikes biz.
2. Make much more art to sell on a grander scale.
3. Publish my completed manuscript on my own creative process.

Here is a short video to watch about these three areas. I like to think it might be inspiring as well. Please disregard the request for votes, I already have them.

Until Next Week
