We discussed our plan of action today. I relayed to the group the conversation I had had at Sprouts with Garry and his partner yesterday, and then we made notes of what we should do next.
It was decided that on Tuesday 31st January, we would meet at college to design our poster, leaflets and invitations. We will invite friends and family on the social networks (FaceBook, Twitter, Tumblr and Fickr), and that we will make formal invitations to lecturers, businesses, curators, gallery owners and any visiting artist or other artists that we would like to invite.
It was decided that as this is a great opportunity for all of us, that we should make the absolute most of it. We are going to try and create a buzzing atmosphere on our Opening Night by inviting as many people as we can, arranging some musical entertainment, and also buy some drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) for our guests.
As we have the space for a month, all members of the group are going to choose six images each to exhibit. We are not limited by wall space and although the brief for our assignment is to exhibit one image each, the owner of the restaurant has requested that we cover the wall with as much art as possible.
It wasn't decided today when we would visit the restaurant next week, to meet for lunch, and view the space together, as some of us have prior commitments. It was decided that we will continue to keep in touch on FaceBook to arrange a time convenient for us all.
It was unfortunate that neither of the two male students from our group attended the meeting today. Neither of them sent an apology for their absence.
It seems we have "girl power" in the group. None of us intend to sit on our laurels to let this opportunity pass us by. It is important to all of us that we make new connections in the art world and that our names begin to get recognised.
The excitement of our group was very obvious. Our conversation became quite loud and lively as we discussed the various issues on our minds. We generated a great atmosphere!
When we have designed our posters and leaflets next week, we intend to work out our budget.
I am going to email Nula (Harpist) to ask her if she is available to play at our venue on the opening night.
