For decades Tom Mann has been a star of the New Orleans art scene, renowned for his clever, uncompromisingly crafted jewelry designs and sculpture. ⁠ ⁠ But things have changed.⁠ ⁠ Mann says the cost of doing business keeps going up, and the fine craft market keeps heading in the opposite direction. ⁠ ⁠ Mann has conceived a strategy: Produce a do-it-yourself retrospective, liquidate the stored art, pocket the windfall, and reduce the overhead in one fell swoop.⁠ ⁠ He'll have a big, everything-must-go sale. ⁠ ⁠ See the details, and the art, that will be on sale Saturday, April 20 using the link in our bio. ⁠ ⁠ #art #timespicayune #sale
