I'm pretty sure I need two extra blog posts, so while I am multitasking with registering a Flickr account (you'll soon see why), I am going to talk about this exhibit that I was invited to at the Joan Derryberry Art Gallery. Alas, I do not have photos, as this was a spur of the moment thing.
Apparently everyone who had a piece on display was enrolled in the BFA program, according to the website. I do remember photos being taken of this girl with a medal around her neck. She was standing next to this beautiful neck piece that had dark fabrics, almost Victorian-esque in presentation. My favorite piece had to be the octopus made from blown glass. There was even a separate display of two tentacles, also made of blown glass, complete with the suction cup things. Another interesting one was this small metal cage with an animal skull in it. There were some abstract pieces, but I'm not really a big fan of the abstract arts.
There was also a small snack buffet, but since we can't really eat in the gallery I opted to wait until I was finished inside to dig in. They had a few different kinds of cheese, chocolate-dipped strawberries, and other tasty things. I ate a small plate full of cheese and fruit on my way home.
It had actually been a while since I've went into an art gallery. I'm an artist, myself, but I didn't think my skills were good enough to even consider being paid to do commission, let alone have something for all to see. With that in mind, I never really went into galleries due to...I suppose jealousy and lack of self-esteem as an artist. However, I had a really good time that day. Perhaps my jealousy finally passed on.
