vg5. Autumn Quarterley Report. Finances 2015

Finances

There has been two major shifts in the way Val Gal has been handling her affairs.

Online Kathy Fabian has been slowly going through the blogs she has written and modifying the prices.  At the beginning of the Online and real world galleries the art work had a ticket price of $100,000.00.  This was to attract a wealthy clientele and also to establish Art Fabian Co. as a top notch creator of art and art collections:  or at least stimulate conversation about the prices offered for Val Gal work.

The summer quarter has ushered in a new philosophy for Val Gal. Gone are elite prices and instead we have a very affordable range of prices that go from $120 to $500.00 for an art work depending on whether they are in or out of the Exhibition Collections. Art work that is currently part of the actual Val Gal four season exhibits have the price of $500.00.  Prints on line are $120.00 each.

Until sales improve, Art Fabian Co. executives have decided, to work on refining the prints available on line. Also prints will be added to blogs that have just text.  In this way all Art Fabian blogs posts will introduce the public to a fairly large variety of  Art Fabian Collectibles to choose from.

Although the sales record has been less than sterling there has been a donation of a new Printer.  The reason for the donation is stated to replace the old one which broke because it was under guarantee. There is also a possibility that the company has seen some of the creative work that Art Fabian Co. has done about Kodak.  It doesn't hurt to remain optimistic.

The Plan for the Autumn Quarterly:

A quarter of the fluid income that Art Fabian Co. has available will continue to be spent on work related issues.  For example, there are printer  cartridges and  paper to be bought. There will be a need for an extra cartridge or two around the beginning of December as work on the Holiday Season exhibit will start.   As much as possible will be purchased in the thrift shops around the city: archive binders, envelopes, labels, and photo paper if possible.

Each month a new frame will be improved for Val Gal.  There are some frames that need the glass replaced and some frames that need the matte board replaced. The money will be taken out of the company savings account if there is not money in the regular budget.  The company tends to spend a lot of money around the Holiday Season. So the more expensive gallery purchases will be made before December.

Also the company will start a Holiday Seasons Budget.  The Holiday Season cards are made but there are some regular and some U.S. stamps to be purchased.  These funds will be taken out of the regular budget if possible.  Once the stamps are paid for there will be the possibility of making more cards.  If any extra money comes in for some reason, the company will keep an eye on a new office chair.  EQ3 has some great light colored chairs for the office at the right price.



To sum up, the summer quarter has reaped no sales yet.  This is to be expected if the aim of Art Fabian Co. is to create a high luxury collection of art.  When the company started the statistics stated that a company with this intention can expect a normal delay of five years before it makes sales.  So the lackluster sales record of this summer is to be expected.  The company will continue to publicize a selection of prints for sale to the public.  And it will still keep a good amount of work unpublished to be developed for high income buyers.

Also Art Fabian Co. will continue to invest in Val Gal.  The ultimate aim of this expense is to complete a full easily recognizable gallery a uniform set of frames.   This will give clientele a chance to view some actual Art Fabian Collections properly framed and well presented.

vg12. Autumn Quarterly:2015. Production

 Autumn Quarterly:2015. Production By Kathy Fabian, C.E.O. and Principal Artist The first and Foremost goal of all Art Fabian Company work to to achieve financial success. Blogging My writing will focus on Money making projects such as ValGal and my Google Page My Clothes Right Now for Sale. I will continue my schedule of writing for a different blog each day.  I am trying to keep one month a head for blog posts.  Meanwhile if I find a better place to do something then I will leave the old site intact to leave a virtual footprint. I will slow down writing actual articles and concentrating on improving the presentation for the blogs. Each blog should have an example of art on it for sale.  I will focus only on stuff I feel that I really want to write about or on money making projects.  I will just polish up stuff that highlights just my creative work. I have a lot of blog articles now so they are actually not my main priority.  Organizing pro...

VG14. Beautiful Charting by Kathy Fabian

Hello Dear Readers, This Saturday I decided to do charting.  I had been contacting the support team at Google for a problem about my balance.  I wanted to use my balance on Google Play to pay for a membership with Gliffy flow charts or Mindmeister Mind Maps.  It turned out you need to pay for Gliffy only with a credit card.  And Mindmaster could be bought with the Google Chrome store.  The Google Play store was a different kettle of fish.  I had put on $100.00 on Google play and I could not transfer it in any way to use for either of these mapping programs. I must have been on the phone for five hours trying to figure out how to pay with the Google Play points.  One hundred dollars is a lot of money and I had it budgeted for the mind mapping.  I did not want to buy anything else, no matter how seductive.  Anyways finally I realized they have a  whole lot of gift cards you can buy with the points so the money will be used and on budge...

V31. Living on Less, Ongoing Work, and Deciding the Kind of Exhibit. by Kathy Vivian Fabian

Continuing the Gallery with a Steep Cut in Income I started the new year with a steep cut in my living income.  The question is how to continue working on the gallery without spending as much money as I have in the past.  As I pass the artwork in the Corridor Lobby I see quite a lot of work to do without even having to frame the picture. Just after breakfast today, I cleaned up the identity tags.  there were some from last exhibit and some had not been installed yet.  That done I changed the position of two exhibits that had been not properly placed. I have received a few beautiful tapestries that I want to hang up.  But they are still in storage.  I also have two frames that are not finished.  I have been waiting until my budget permits.  Also, I have been working on inventory with an app I found called ArtMoi.com.  One of my drawings would fit nicely into one of the frames.  So I will work on that today. How to continue working...
