Here is a short video of the beginning of the Opening Reception for our new VineArts Gallery Art Exhibit titled: Abundant Joy. We have over 6o pieces of art (of various mediums) being displayed by over 30 local & national artists in this show. I took the video just as people were starting to come into the gallery for the reception. We ended up having a packed gallery as hundreds of people came through today to view the art, meet the artists, listen to the live piano & cello music, and enjoy the refreshments. The exhibit will be up for about 2.5 months.
I absolutely love being the Installation Coordinator of the VineArts Gallery. We install quarterly juried & themed exhibits. Each show is open to the public to submit (we've gotten local, national & international artists submissions). I'm so glad I'm not alone in this! It's a lot of work coordinating the entire process from advertising, creating & distributing entry packets, themes & title wall concepts, website updates, submission taking, overseeing the jurying, cateloging & archiving, producing artist statements, figuring out artwork placement within the gallery, installing & hanging the artwork, adjusting lighting, coordinating the opening reception with live music, refreshments, & advertising, and connecting & communicating with each artist. So I must thank God that I get to work side by side with an amazing team of VineArts leaders & volunteer helpers (I couldn't do any of this without them all!) And I also get to meet SO MANY extremely talented artists (of all ages, backgrounds, skill levels, genders, cultures, & media expertise) who have so much to offer and so much to share from their hearts through their creativity. It's an honor! I'm very thankful to be a part of all of this.
