A mobile art gallery created from a retrofitted 1966 DeCamp Travel Trailer. I will take it on the road spreading happiness around.
The Happy Camper: a mobile art gallery
UPDATE: A HUGE thank you to everyone who helped me make it to $2500! Thanks to you, I can now get the Happy Camper on the road this fall. Go here to see the events I've planned so far.
Pledges are still gratefully accepted--since the actual expenses will exceed the goal. (read more about that here)
Again, THANKS for your support! I look forward to meeting many of you at a Happy Camper event soon.
My name is Kristina Wentzell. I am an artist/wife/mother and prolific painter. People always tell me my paintings make them happy.
I want to take my art show booth on the road in this 1966 DeCamp Travel Trailer and spread the happiness around. I will retrofit the inside with lighting and a hanging system (and remove all the camping gear) and take it on the road to art festivals, street fairs, farmers markets and maybe even meet-ups with other mobile art galleries.
Funds from this project will pay for:
- a 1966 DeCamp Travel Trailer
- gallery lighting in the interior
- a hanging system for the interior and exterior
- a vintage style awning for the exterior part of the gallery
