Just Picture It: Hanging an Art Show

Phew!! Today I finally finished hanging my show (or should I say, my wall?) for DC's biggest creative event, Artomatic. Instead of telling you all about the process, I thought I would just give you a sneak peek of all of the hard work via photos...

BEFORE:

Gathering up my paintings and framing, labeling, etc.

Trip to Tarjay for all the show necessities--including a floppy summer hat for my beach trip in June... (whoops!)

Gathering up my postcards/take-ones, signs, tools, etc.

My blank wall--which I painted last week.

AFTER:

Directing people to my work...

Almost finished wall: angle 1.

Table with postcards, biz cards, and my guest book :)

Almost finished wall: angle 2.

Fun, huh? I still have a bit more work to do this weekend (lighting, leveling paintings, adding another sign, etc.), but I'm almost there! Not pictured here? Painting and edging the wall before putting up all of the work, making all of the labels and the inventory sheet, gathering & ordering tons of supplies, and framing. 
Who knew it would be so much work, right?

Artomatic opens next Friday, May 18th, and is located at 1851 S. Bell Street in Arlington (right across the street from the Crystal City Metro station). If you're in the DC area you should definitely visit sometime in the next month or so, as it's going to be an amazing show--over 1000 artists are participating!!! My work is on the 2nd floor ;)

Namaste,
Mary Catherine
