I have a love hate relationship with gallery receptions. I like going out. I have artist friends. Sometimes I need to promote myself and my art. I’m terrible at first time small talk which these events heavily rely.
Agreed. I think that's a really common feeling among artists. We do socialize and talk about art with each other, but putting us together amongst strangers in a room is like herding cats. -Lauryn, Art Prof Teaching Artist
Going to my first private view that i am not part of in a few days, mainly to meet other artists. The gallery is run by artists for artists so its not gonna be to stressfull so a good entry point for me as i hate socialising.
Cute guinea pig! Is this Wheat? There's like zero art galleries in my city, so I have to commute to the capital city to visit one. I don't have the money for that now (fare prices are on the rise because of oil prices rising) but I'll keep this in mind once I visit a gallery!
