International Art Exhibit: 6x6@110

Happy Labor Day!

I am voluntarily going into work to continue progress on the hanging of the Gallery's newest upcoming exhibition, 6x6@110. 6x6 refers to the size of the hundreds of canvases there are to hang at the gallery as each one is 6" square, and 110 refers to the street number for the gallery's address. It is a huge fundraiser to support our arts programming, so it is very inspiring to see such a massively positive response to this exhibition.

We've received over 500 canvases in various mediums (3D, ink, watercolor, fabric, photography, and so on). We've received canvases from all over Texas and as far away as New York, California, and even Nepal, officially making this an international exhibit.

It has been a huge undertaking to hang this show, but it has been so fun to see each individual canvas as it comes in. Thanks to the help of my boyfriend (and his connection as an editor at the City's leading newspaper), the gallery's clear glass windows have been covered in newspaper to maintain the secretive nature of this exhibit until the opening reception this coming Thursday. More pics to come over the next several days to track the progress as this project comes together.

Long time, no see.

Wow, it's been a while.

I intend to jump back into blogging if it's the last thing I do. Despite being the Gallery Curator who runs an extremely busy art gallery, keeping up with modeling gigs and a rigorous workout routine, spending time with my journalist boyfriend (who's schedule is almost exactly opposite to mine), maintaining a clean and orderly loft apartment despite having two rambunctious male cats, and breathing somewhere in between all that, I am shooting for at least two blog posts a week! We'll see how long my well-meaning intentions last, but for now, since I've successfully wasted 30 minutes - that I really didn't have to spare - on themetapicture.com, I am going to resume blogging after a 14 month hiatus by posting several pictures that amused me greatly. Enjoy.

Ooh, sick burn, brah.

There actually is a difference.

I remember Clippy!

Fact: everything looks shitty in Comic Sans.

Just one hand makes a world of difference.

Ok, this last one is from the time I turned my younger cat, Rococo, into an internet meme, just for the LULZ.
