Crossing Art Reception

Art reception, the artists role. Switch to "schmoozing" mode. A good way to get your feet wet in doing this is to be in a group show. All the focus is not on you, as it would be in a solo show. I watch for someone viewing my work and move in and talk with them. At this show I opened with "the darkness of the background reminds me of space, which leaves you feeling the sensation of vastness". The man I was speaking with totally picked up on this, and started a discussion with me about the piece without even realizing I was the artist. He just saw me as a friendly fellow patron of the arts enjoying some insight. I also spent some time getting to know the other artists, in a juried show such as this one, you have no idea about who you will be sharing the walls with. Everyone has a story to tell, just start asking questions.
