I had a fantastic time at my first Solo exhibition in Somerset. I rented the space off ACE Arts in Somerton, it was well equipped and maintained, a great space all around. Tea making area with toilet out the back and great light in the main area with two front facing windows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’d been planning it for some time, hoping I would have enough pieces ready to show as well as enough people to come a see it, I didn’t want to be on my own in the space with no visitors. I made posters and distributed them locally and sent a fair few emails as well as inviting all my friends to a preview evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sheila and Lupin helped me out with some bits, Lupin did all the work for drinks and nibbles and Sheila with hanging and gallery etiquette, I couldn’t have done it without them. The Preview evening with friends was a real pleasure, surrounded by wonderful, kind people and a glass or two of bubbly is always good fun. We feel so lucky to have such great people about us here in Somerset. Then the week went from very quiet on Monday through to very busy as the week went on. I met so many great people and chatted about Art all week as well as demonstrated my drawing and showed my homemade charcoal. In the end the best advert was word of mouth, with more people coming as the week went on. We had some great feedback to, particularly about the hanging and professional look of it all, as well as the wonderful and helpful compliments about my work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
