Our primary goal involved putting on a group art show. In preparation for this we faced the challenges of fundraising, art making, group organization, and curating. We had bi weekly bake sales, and a Valentine’s Day Secret Café raising enough money to rent an abandoned store front on a busy street in downtown Olympia.(Picture of secret café, then of empty space). In two days time we turned a white room with ugly carpet into a well curated gallery space. With each of us bringing items from our own houses we transformed this sterile environment into a comfortable home-like setting, utilizing the theme “The Feeling of Being at Home in the Universe.” (Picture of everything set-up). We split our group into teams to ensure that public relations, clean-up, set-up, design, and curatorial were all given proper attention. The show was packed opening night, exposing our art to more people than we had ever anticipated. (Picture of people at show). By banding together as a group of ten and taking control and responsibility of our own show instead of relying on the college, we maintained a high level of professionalism, considering every decision and detail that faced us. As a result we put on one of the most impressive art shows that Evergreen has seen.
I won't have my hard copy tomorrow until we go to the school. Maybe we can edit there?? While organizing the photos??
