10/26

what

We pretty much finalized the dates and venues for the exhibit. It has been decided that the actual event will occur at 1509 on the Wednesday before First Friday. A small senior show is happening on First Friday so we couldn’t do it then. We also have Thanksgiving break the weekend before this Wednesday so we are worried people will still be in Thanksgiving mood.

A small exhibit with leave behinds will also be left at Gallery 5 starting First Friday and staying up for the remaining month. This way we figure we can really impact people with our main event but also catch any stragglers at Gallery 5 and possibly interest them in our mission.

After we finalized these aspects of the exhbit, we dissolved the group for now and went into our second stage groups. Myself currently being invloved with the exhibit/environment design. We decided to merge the groups for now in order to work together to get the initial plan layed out.

so what

This process has given us experience with setting up meetings and just working with outside people. I learned that if you want to setup an exhibit somewhere, you better contact galleries months before. It was very hard and we were very lucky to find the two venus we did which are both great. It was also interesting to not just work in one group of a project but to finish small jobs and move around to other groups.

now what

It will be good in the future to know how to work with outside individuals, lay out plans with them and explain your vision so they understand. Also to know how to set up dates, working around the groups schedule, the venues schedule and just figuring out what possible day would be best. One interesting problem we had was we thought a better day would have been a week or even two weeks earlier but we said we would rather have more time to work on the project then having a slightly better day. If we promote well enough, the actual date should not be much of a problem.
