Grade 11/12 - Day 76: "How Curators Curate, Step Seven: Opening Night!"

Opening Night!!






You made it!  Opening Night.  This is where the fun begins.  The photos above are from the student art show that we put together in Blyth every year. Thanks to http://ontariotraveldivas.com/tag/blyth-festival-art-gallery/.

From fineartabout.com:


"When curating an art exhibition, make your art opening fun, exciting and memorable. You want to create an exciting buzz so that people will keep coming back for the exhibition. Schedule your opening for the evening when most people are free to attend.

Begin the opening with a live art or music performance or light show, and then introduce the curator, artists and other significant figures to the audience.


Serve refreshments and let the visitors see the artwork.

Artists should be near their installations so they can answer any of the visitor’s questions. Have volunteers, who wear identifiable clothing like matching shirts, stand in the various rooms of the exhibition to help explain the work and make sure it does not get damaged."
