Art and other sparkly things.

Art: Raw; Gallery: Packed

Before February 19, I had never seen so many people or so much art all in one small space.  But for the Art: Raw Gallery opening, we got both.  Here is a photo of one area of the gallery, just to give you an idea of what it was like.

Or, if you prefer the written description, my friend (who watched 45 minutes of the streaming feed, in an effort to see whether I literally emerged as an artist) reported  that we looked “mahvelous,” but suggested that except for some interesting cleavage shots, the streaming feed was not terribly riveting.  (So much for Unscripted Gallery Reality TV.)  He also added, “Must have been chilly in good ol’ New York.  Everyone appeared to be dressed as if they were heading to Ice Station Zebra; plus, it looked jammed in that place.”  Well said.

Fortunately, this was another example where actually being there was much more exciting than being on the other end of the webcam.  I would probably feel differently, however, if I were claustrophobic.

It was a little bit of a hunt to find where my paintings had been hung.  But we found them.  Eventually.  I was immediately relieved to see that they had arrived intact and so happy that they had been hung this way as a foursome.

They were hung about thigh-high, which gives you an idea of of how they managed to fit so much on the walls of this place.

I was thrilled to see so many people I knew who came out for the opening!  Friends from high school, college, San Francisco, and New York.  It was so much MORE than it would have ever occurred to me to imagine.  And so I dub this event awesome with a side of awesomeness.
