opening:
friday night i attended the tour opening at the pg art center. each artist had one work exhibited.
last year there were troubles with this tour& the artist equity that puts it together >>>so there was not one. so this year i would guess there was half the number of artists participating than in previous years. they moved the date up too by 2 weeks which may have tweaked peoples timelines.
art: more of the same. was fun to see people & what they are doing, yet it felt like a rut. i wanted to be surprised & wasn't.
Sunday: went to a few studios. mostly to pay respects to people i know (give moral support). had some nice visits with artists that were new to me. only saw 11 studios this year.
how this relates to me/what i am doing:
have done open studio (2yrs ago) so i paid more attention to presentation, salesmanship, promotion tools this time. in the past i tend to focus on equipment, studio space & setup (lusting after or getting ideas for updating what i have). i always pick brains of the artists to see if i can find patterns in what was sold. sales are never great, yet the networking aspect is.
