The big night – private viewing.
sharon Ross
I arrived at 5pm with my husband Alan. The room looked great. The floor had been cleaned. The spot lights that were dead replaced and pointing in the right direction. All that needed doing was sticking on the artist statements and the numbering of the works. I had typed up a list of artist works and assigned a number to each work. There was thirty pieces in all. The artist statements were verified by Michelle Rowley and Paul Bearman our tutors. I then laminated the statements and the numbers. They were placed on the wall at the same height all the way round the room. The drinks table was set, all we needed was viewers.
There was a good turnout, all the tutors came, and some first and third year students. There was also a lot of family and friends as well as representatives from local communities such as the art world, college and universities. I would estimate that there were about 50 to 60 people and everyone seemed really impressed with the exhibition.
