Notes to help finish up!!

Installation begins at both venues on May 2nd. You have until Thursday evening to finish!! This is a very exciting, satisfying and exhausting time for all of us. Enjoy and be kind to each other.

The Gannett group met yesterday and was able to work out their installation sequence and quite a few other things. Thanks to everyone their for "trouble shooting" and working so well together.
They have received the Gallery Contracts and the Insurance Forms. The remaining ones for the Danforth Group are in a manilla envelope posted next to my office door. Please take one and fill it out. We need to have all gallery contract and insurance forms completed, and into the Art Office by May 2 or no later than the 3rd. The Art Office will make labels from your completed forms. The labels will have your name, title of the work and medium. There will be a separate price list sheet in each gallery for inquiring art patrons.

I want to meet with the Danforth artists @ 11 in the gallery on Tues., May 3rd @ 11. Gannet Gallery artists are planning on having their own individual guest books on a pedestal near their work. They will also put their artist statement, (& business cards if they want) on the pedestal too. The artist statement, about 150 words, should be made with a Helvetica or other sans serif type if you don't have helvetica.

More things will probably come up. Keep checking for updates on this blog.

  1. We agreed on a 12-point font size for our artists' statements, right? What about the page layout (line spacing, margins, etc.) and type of paper? I think consistency makes the show seem more unified and professional, but maybe it doesn't matter to anyone else. Just wondering...

  2. Here is a nitty-gritty question about the contract:

    Section # 2: What should the second set of dates be? May 2nd (possibly) through June 17 or 18? When should pick up our pieces / uninstall, etc?

  3. Karen - Sorry I haven't been able to make the last meetings for the gannett people - my work schedule is out a few weeks in advance and it hasn't lined up well at all. I can only request things off if I know about them about a month in advance. Sorry!
