The Perils of Preparing for an Art Show

September 15th, 2009 · No Comments

Debating if I’m having fun or pulling my hair out while preparing for art shows…  I love what I do, so far be it for me to complain about it.  Still, the closer I get to any art show I do, the more I forget or add to my 5 “to do” lists I have floating around before the ensuing panic upon packing up the car.  “To Do” “Signs to Print” “Supplies to Bring” etc. etc.  Really, I love it.

The culprit?  This time it’s the Staten Island Museum of Art annual outdoors fence show on September 20th.  I’ll be displaying and selling my photography and Etsy jewelry items.  Ribbon, supplies, photography prints, cello bags, mats, necklaces, chains, glue, envelopes and fabric have taken over my house.

I’m thinking of a quasi-autumn theme since the weather here in New York has sprung into Fall already.  Hopefully this means a show day that isn’t brutally humid and hot like last year’s show.  Black tablecloth, light wood/bamboo displays, autumn colored fabrics, coral (“salmon”) colored signage.

Gathering supplies and preparing artwork

Decision made: To do what you love, there have to be a few “pulling your hair out” moments on the road there.  So yeah, I’m having fun :)

Wish me luck at the show!
