Art Promotions First Domain artpro.com Now In Hands Of New Owner

Happy New Year.  New Year, New Domain, read on . . .

Art Promotions First Domain artpro.com Content Now at New Location

• Published on January 2, 2020

(Memphis,TN) Art Promotions business owner and American artist and writer, Karen E. Francis, announces that her first internet domain, artpro.com, is now in the hands of a new owner. "This is NOT a sale of my business, Art Promotions, or my artworks, or the feature film Christmas Ride. It is only a sale of the popular, short domain name artpro.com "

"This was my first website (started in the late nineties), for my company Art Promotions, 'Paintings, Prints, and Productions' which began in 1989 in McLean, Virginia. Some of my friends and early art collectors will recall my struggles with building the pages."

Content previously on artpro.com is now available on a domain named karenefrancis.com . This transaction was initiated and facilitated by GoDaddy.com located in Arizona. The artpro.com domain was hosted for a number of years on computers in California.

She hopes to continue posting to other various social media platforms and domains, as well, like artprofilms.com, facebook.com/ChristmasRide, facebook.com/ArtPromotions, instagram.com/crpr21516, youtube.com/blessings427 (videos on art, film, movie trailers, travel, music and inspirational topics), and twitter.com/artist427 , among others.

"I don't really know what content the new owner of the artpro.com domain will be uploading," she notes. "I want to make my previous collectors and fellow artists aware of the change, since many of them may have the website pages bookmarked." The new owner is currently sharing the news of a change in domain ownership for thirty days with a link to karenefrancis.com.

The authorized fine art prints and products from Karen E. Francis remain for sale online at http://fineartamerica.com/profiles/karen-francis and faa's sister art site, pixels.

Her original oil paintings may be purchased direct from the artist or from art galleries when her artworks are on exhibit. She says, "My originals are shown at my studio by appointment only, currently in Memphis, TN."

Write kfrancis427@gmail.com to schedule an appointment to purchase originals. This is also the email address to write her for booking CHRISTMAS RIDE (PG) "A Road Trip to Remember!" an Academy Award Qualified feature movie, which is available for cinemas and movie theaters in 2K resolution by contacting her. The film will be shipped on a hard drive, DCP, by day and date, along with a cinematic trailer from a California company experienced in distribution of films.

The story line for the movie is "When divorced mother of two, artist Keri decides to drive home at Christmastime with the help of a handsome veteran, the road trip to her widowed mother's wedding is complicated, revealing facts that ultimately test the limits of forgiveness."

Installed Art at Germantown Community Theatre Today

Fourteen works are on exhibit now at Germantown Community Theatre. I took the art over this morning, opened the wrappings from around the paintings, found the wires and tools and ladder and hung them on the lobby walls. A short five hours later it was time to add the labels and photograph the installation. Everyone there had nice things to say about the artworks. Sales will benefit the theatre by ten percent of the price. And to help make this benefit successful, I rolled the prices way back for the duration of this show through April 29. The paintings may be purchased through the staff at GCT. The stage is set for the opening of Spitfire Grill, the musical this theatre has prepared.

A Monument of the Mind

My response to news about the Nineteenth Century Club:
(Memphis) To me, the Nineteenth Century Club is a monument not to a period of time, but to good citizenship. It is the birthplace of ideas that helped this city grow in strength and beauty, a monument of the mind. Its name is the name of a Club whose members have helped everyone living in Memphis even to this day. Who has not played in the parks of Memphis? This club created the Parks and Recreation system by organizing the first public playground. If each Memphian who ever enjoyed summers in the parks contributed ten dollars, the Nineteenth Century could have its repairs done in no time. This same group of forward thinking club members started City Beautiful campaign in 1930 which lasted through the fifties and sixties and produced results winning national acclaim and tourists for Memphis. This club also helped build hospitals and education associations. This building on Union could become a highlight on tours of the secret treasures in Memphis, like the lovely homes in the Historical District of New Orleans.  In some cities, the government would purchase the land and rent the building back back to the organization or owner in perpetuity (or at least 99 years) for $1.00 a year.  By eliminating the tax burden, the organization might be able to make the needed repairs. 

Last Week to See Transitions Art Exhibit at WKNO

Reminder, this is the last week to view the Artist Links Transitions Art Exhibition at WKNO TV.

9 - 5 Monday through Friday, Oct. 24-28, 2011.   The address is 7151 Cherry Farms Road in Cordova, TN 38016.  This location is off Goodlett Farms Road between Whitten and Appling.   Admission is free.  The art is displayed in the reception area of this television broadcasting building.   I have a print called Memphis Street Scene in this exhibit.  --Karen

Safer Streets for Cyclists was the Plea . . .

 

along with a Call for Cycle Lanes on Madison.  Excitement mounts two wheels in Memphis as the Green Line is being sewn together from Collierville, through to Germantown, to Shelby Farms near Cordova, all the way to Tillman.  Then a big blank exists until Cooper Street in Midtown.  Even with Madison cycle lanes from Cooper to Cleveland, a preferred route to the scenic riverside park paths along the Mississippi River and to the businesses and cafes along Main Street has yet to be determined.
