One Week to Go - Put On Your Party Hat!

Crawl this Friday! Hanging shows this Monday! Really, really, really burnt out!

One show hung, three to go, MediaNet to set up, artist statements and contact info typed up, pack of musicians coming over from Vancouver, PA and sound set up mostly figured out, ladder found, food and booze planned, beds secured, promotion sent out, posters up, handbills out, hands shook, installation in our home gallery nearly ready, phone calls, phone calls, phone calls, radio show aired, keys picked up, labels cut, didn't even forget Juli's birthday...

Can we party now? Is it party time? The next time I feel like organizing something, I'm just going to find an enormous jar of buttons and put them in different piles over and over and over. Kidding! I'm excited. Let's have a really good time Friday!

Info for PARTICIPATING ARTISTS, First Floorplan Drafts for your reference

Hi folks,

Posting a first draft of curatorial plan on the blog seemed easier than emailing bits and pieces, please let me know how you feel about this initial plan for hanging and if you'd like changes. Decisions were based on your space preferences, size requirements and my best first guesses at arrangement. You can either email me privately to discuss, call me or comment here among yourselves so we can sort out these details. Thanks for all your cooperation so far, great group of people to work with.

Fifty Fifty group show:




CACGV group show: Had problems with PDF, dimensions are:
wall - 38'
ceiling height - 11'
width - 15'

8'x8' Courtenay's wall




Camas - Wanted to show your work (Lindsay and Dan) in more than one spot, let me know what you think! Smaller pieces here, Lindsay's three silk screens and Dan's smaller works.





Cornerstone Cafe- Wanted to put Sherry's painting series here, this space needs fairly large work as you can see, there may be room for another artist to share here, it's just the one large wall, on the left when you walk in.
