city hall show

All 33 of my freshly-framed artworks are packed up and ready to be dropped off tomorrow at City Hall for a show that will run from August 6th - October 18th. All the details are here, on the City of Orlando web site. Unfortunately there isn't an opening due to security at City Hall, but that's OK because then I don't have to stand there while people look at my work. It makes me so uncomfortable be there while people look at my art. I much prefer people seeing it on the internet where I can't see their reaction to it!

I can't believe I got all of them framed, all myself and with no power tools! ha! They look good I think. And it saved me a lot of money, it cost about $100 to frame all of them, not bad!

I got all the wire in the backs so they are ready to hang. I did the last batch of 15 today while I was watching Entourage. Love that show.

I am a little nervous. Will I have enough work? Will people like my work? Will it look good in City Hall? Yipes! I guess I'll find out. I drop everything off at 10am!

I think that's really cool that your City Hall displays art. I work in City Hall in Lincoln, NE and we wanted to do something like this, but someone might submit art that would offend. Oh my!

I'm sure it will be a great show. If your City Hall is like ours you will get tons of exposure.

Can't wait to see pictures!

ok... what is Artful Blogging and how do we get an issue?!

congrats on the CityHall show - yes you have enough pieces, but it is nice to have a second person showing too - maybe they are the ones that don't have enough pieces!

what no chance to dazzle them with your smile and charming personality? their loss!

look forward to you posting photos of the show up! all the best from here....

It's going to be great! People in City Hall are probably human and if they are, they'll enjoy your work. I can't speak for aliens but I'd imagine they'd like it too. Congratulations!
