INVITATION TO ARTISTS
We invite artists who are at the top of their game to participate in the 9 th Annual SLOPOKE Art

this event at their Flag Is Up Farms in Solvang, CA in the heart of the Santa Ynez Valley. This

West Lake Village to the south and Santa Maria, San Luis Obispo, and Paso Robles to the

WHAT IS ENTREPRISE, LLC?
• Seaside Gallery has operated as a sole proprietorship since we
purchased the business in 2008
• Embarking on a fine art business as a Public event, we decided
to re- organize as a limited liability company in 2016
• We named it ENTREPRISE, LLC – a conflation of the
words “entrepreneurial” and “enterprise” as a mnemonic
that we are an entrepreneurial art enterprise.
• As ENTREPRISE, LLC. we operate as 3 independent business units:
o SEASIDE GALLERY – retail fine art / artist representation
o SLOPOKE Events – public fine art events of museum quality
o DIGIMAGINATION – a new word to describe our
photography, gicleé printing, art imaging, advertising, and
video production.
• At the end of the day, we are still just Tom & Sherie Burgher
