Opening night for 89 artists
Hi, well, I only lasted 40 minutes! Wall to wall people, incredible turn-out from the public. As I expected I was the only one with any representational work. Got a very nice compliment from a well regarded watercolor artist, Roger McMellum, said "Giselle" was the best in the show and invited me to join the Madison Art Guild, a juried organization for Madison artists, and took one of my cards.
My studio/dining/bike storage area sparkles, it hasn't been that clean for 7 years! Postcards are done, portfolio done, paintings all labeled, goodies bought, we even got the roll top desk closed. Now all I need is interested people. Tomorrow will tell.
What is the proper etiquette for opening receptions? This was my first and I was surprised by how casual, noisy, and the quantity of wine flowing. I'm not a good "public" person, and couldn't handle it. Do I need to learn how to handle this type of situation? I'd be interested in anyone elses experiences with opening night.
