Also with three of our members deciding not to exhibit at this show there was a lot more space available for paintings for the remaining eleven artists.Needless to say I didn't take that into consideration and I found that I needed more paintings to fill the areas in which I was assigned to hang my work.
Once I had most of my paintings hung, rather than go home and pick up more artwork and return that night I decided I would return early in the morning before the opening of the show and finish hanging my work.
While there are many changes with this show, some of them are for the better. One that I do like is having the panels run in a solid row down the centre of the church hall instead of it having a narrow open space in the grids, dividing them into two sections near the centre area. This always seemed to cause a bottle neck when large numbers of the public came in to view the exhibit.
Before I left for the night I set up my table in my spot at the back of the church hall by the door and as usual I will be work on small paintings throughout the art show.
It will be interesting to see how the hot and humid temperatures affect the attendance at the show, with today being 95F (35C) and the humidity making it feel like 105F (40.6C) and the next couple of days are to be even more humid. But tomorrow is another day and we will take it as it comes.
The hours for our show are:
11 Aug 16 - 9:00am - 5:00pm
12 Aug 16 - 9:00am - 5:00pm
13 Aug 16 - 9:00am - 5:00pm
14 Aug 16 - 12:30pm - 4:00pm
I look forward to seeing some of you at our show during the next four days.
