It was an interesting "First Friday Gallery Hop" this month. The skies threatened and then it poured!Earlier in the day, I attended a meeting at the University Club. As a member of the Artists' Steering Committee for the Florida Committee/ National Museum of Women in the Arts, we discuss a variety of ways to promote women in the arts while providing exhibition opportunities for our local members. Since FSU also had a home game on Saturday, the traffic was already heavy Friday afternoon as fans came to Tallahassee for the "Downtown Get-down" on Friday night. Combine that traffic with the Gallery Hop plus the rain and you have a few delays!
My husband and I went to see the Tallahassee Collects exhibit at City Hall. I had a piece in the exhibit. The Council on Cultural and the Arts (COCA) displayed selected work from the collections of a variety of professionals in Tallahassee. The collected works came from attornies, physicians, commissioners, builders, realtors, insurance executives, etc. It was also nice to see some of the artists and meet some of the owners of the pieces. Next, and after the torrential downpour, we went to LeMoyne to see the exhibit entitled "Encore." It featured four very fine artists and was a beautiful show.
On First Fridays we are usually at the South of Soho Gallery , an artists' co-op, in Railroad Square where we exhibit as members. However, for the first time since we became members, we were unable to attend because of our other obligations.
I am looking forward to my new website! I am hoping that it will be available soon. I will let everyone know when it goes online.
See you next time.
