“It's really difficult to sell art in general. I like the idea of there being a place for artists to display their work, but there are a lot of artists here and not a lot of people in a position to buy art.”

— Erika Ochoa, self-employed, Lawrence

“I really have no idea. It seems like there's a lot of interest here. They have the Red Balloon To Do and everything. Art's a tough sell.”

— Dave Courtney, SafeRide manager, Lawrence

“Unfortunately, not enough people value original art by living artists. They just prefer to buy famous prints. They should take a chance on real art.”

— Justine Kocherov, Kansas University senior, Lawrence

“Too many artists, and not enough buyers.”

— Ben Layton, driver, Lawrence
