Time: An Open Art Collective Exhibition

I've been really bad at updating this blog lately as I've been ill for a number of weeks. During this time the Open Art Collective group exhibition went really well. Fellow OCA students and Thames Valley group members, Catherine Banks and Dawn Langley organised the hang and logistics of showing at the Lightbox Gallery Woking for the rest of the group. There were eleven of us showing in total. We all organised the framing of our own work and drove down to the gallery on the day of the hang. As part of the gallery costs a gallery assistant was on hand to help Catherine and Dawn realise their layout.

 

They did a really professional job and everyone was very impressed with the finished installation.

Gerry's 'Never a Sunday Roast' drawings.

We also had an artist's evening a few days after the opening. This was open to friends and family of the artist's and late night visitors to the gallery and cafe space. This went really well and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. It was a really good feeling to be part of the group collective and share the experience.

Here is a short video of the layout of the exhibition:

I think everyone did really well and this was a great learning experience for the participants. Also two of the artist's actually sold work which was amazing! Kate Aston sold both her pieces and I sold three of my five pieces. Amazing to see those little red dots!
