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.
