Yesterday afternoon I took a portfolio of my work in a slide tray, plus a
half-dozen large prints, and met with director of the fine art gallery at a
local university branch campus. We looked at the prints and then ran the
slide tray. I had the slides divided into categories of landscape/rural,
architectural, flora, fauna, and other (abstract, still-life, etc.) It was
a relatively informal session. I think the large prints ended up primarily
demonstrating I know how to get from a slide to a gallery display print
without embarrassing myself (and them).
During the month of September I will have the "spotlight" area that's
reserved for local artists. It's large enough to hold about 10-14 works
depending on how it's arranged. There's another "spotlight" for
Indianapolis artists which is scheduled for some digital prints, and half
the main gallery will contain a larger "solo" photography show (of someone
who actually has a "name").
Looking forward to this, and it gives me some time to have some large
prints made, a few each month, so I don't break the bank. This is the next
step I was looking for.
