Our first sales!

Friday was our first proper day of being open. We had a nice stream of people in and by the end of the day two of our artists had sold work Alice Finch and Lucy Hubbard.

Congratulations guys.

Here we go....

It's finally the day. Monday morning I picked up the keys and the list of selected artists and work and got ready for a crazy week. The first window sticker went up, amid much frustration and un-straight lines, and then we got to the fun bit of arranging plinths, hanging work and eating celebratory biscuits.

Windows looking good full of art and people:

Time to start drilling, and moving pieces many, many, many times

And at about 6pm it all got a bit much for me, so it was time for sitting, delegating and then a nice bottle of crabbies and Craft Cwtch at The Courtyard.

 Wednesday will be full of plinth painting and catalogue designing.

What's in a name?

Today is all about flyers and posters. In an attempt to make sure that we are not just going to be all alone on our opening night we have been working on our advertising. There have been dozens of versions of our posters done and we are nearly there with our final designs. The question we have been getting a lot today when gathering opinions about this version over that version of the flyer has been "what's all the point six six about then?". Well it's quite simple really. Picking a name for a group show is very hard. Especially when you're not 100% sure what everyone is making. So we needed something a bit obscure. As we are now two weeks away from the end of our second year, we decided to celebrate the fact we are 2/3 of the way through, and point six six just looked nicer than 2/3!
