Countdown to the Grand Opening

29 11 2006

Only two days to finish up preparations for the gallery grand opening.

Yesterday I was interviewed by a writer from Brick Magazine, a fairly new weekly magazine put out by Media General/Richmond Times Dispatch. The timing is great, as the article is due to come out on Thursday, a day before the opening!

The lighting is in, but we had to go with a temporary option because our more permanent solution wasn’t able to be shipped on time. It will be just fine, but there was a period of momentary mayhem trying to determine an alternate solution for those 11 foot ceilings.

About 90 percent of the show is hung, which consists just under 30 paintings and a number of small minis as well. I’ll take some pictures later today and post them here on the blog.
