Website gallery

Hi, guys

I added a 'Construction' gallery to the site, which includes a few pictures from Saturday and then the rest on the blog. If we can continue to do those, and also photos from the opening of the show and reception that would be great.

Price List

Everyone who wants to sell work should post their label information along with a price. I would also include contact information (ie email or phone number). I'll make a bunch of copies to be given away.

See the fun you're missing?

Flyers and Flags

heres a list of possible drop off points for flags and flyers. i know some of these places have already been covered, so to minimize legwork could everyone post where they have dropped things off? also, if there could be volunteers to bring flyers and flags to some of these spots that would be great too. if anyone needs replenishment of either, they can be picked up in the print studio tomorrow during the day. please add to this list!

MUSIC

Jack is willing to help out with DJ-ing. But, he realized the weekend is the same as the UCF Universal event and I think he was planning to go to that, so he's a little disappointed he would be missing it...and if we want him for all three nights it's going to be a lot of work for him to bring all his equipment there and back and spend every night there all night, so he's asking for compensation. I told him I had no idea what anyone was going to say about that and I doubted it would be very much because we are already on a tight budget...and frankly I have no idea what is even a large or small amount to pay someone for such a favor.

Thoughts, suggestions??? We need to get back to him ASAP before we lose him to the Universal event!

LABELS, again

So far I have label information from Mat, Chris, Danielle, Mark, Jessie, Jonathan, Nargges, Ryan, Mike, Lauren, Amanda, and Bianca.

But I need labels from Carson, Mike, Nicolette, Rebecca, Sarah, Melanie, Hayley, Gina, Jonathan, Jessica, Jennifer, Sean, Cristina, Crystal, Linda. Remember to write your name as you would like it to appear, and then the title, year, and medium.

I'll remind everyone in class today.

EXPENSES

So far, it appears that we are under budget, but there are some holes and inaccuracies in this list:

Drywall - about 10-12 pieces needed, depending on the space needed for Mat, Chris, and Jessica - $100
Posts - about 20, also dependent on horizontals and verticals - $260
Furring channels - about 10? - $41
Florescent lighting fixtures - about 12-13, maximum (18 looks like too many) - $117
Bulbs - I don't know if the florescent fixtures came with bulbs - ?
Incandenscent spot lighting - ?
Extension cord - ?
Flyers - ?
Flags - $90
Food - ?

Total: $608

Tomorrow Fucking Mornin'

The Schweiz and I are going to be on 91.5 fm WPRK at about 9am tomorrow morning. So get up, listen, and tell your friends. It should be fun, and hopefully the'll play some rocking tunes. Ok, that's it.

Love,
Kretz.

MORE SOD?

HANDOUT

Alright, I've done every detail down to the extra space for bleeds. So, please don't tell me that you finally have your thumbnail, it's too late.















PS, the flags are here, but we have to wait until the domain name is up and running to put them out. Becky's working on it.

Radio Show Update! Vote ASAP!

I have new news on the Rollins Radio show dates. It seems that everyone agrees that choosing a time slot that is later, is better than choosing one that is sooner........so the time slots that we need to pick from are:

Thursday March 22nd 8am-10am (during a music show)

Tuesday March 27th 12:30pm-1:00pm (during a talkshow).

I must let Kristen know which time slot we want. I would like to get back with her TOMORROW (March 14th) to let her know!

We can figure out who is definately going on the air - at a later time.

I will NOT be available to go on the air. I have work tues/thurs so I cannot choose.

Which times are good for those of you who are interested in being on the show? (Chris?, Melanie?, _________?)

Please post your comments and vote on a date ASAP.

Rollins Radio Talkshow!!

Hey everyone!
I was just informed of an exciting opportunity that I think we should definately take advantage of!
Kristen Stone at WPRK Rollins Radio just called me asking if we would like to be guests on her show to talk about the exhibition, when/why we are doing it etc. etc.!!! She is also putting together a PSA for us that will be read several times over the next few weeks.

There are a few time slots that we can pick from (to be guests on her show):

Tuesday March 13th (during a talkshow) 12:30pm-1:00pm
Thursday March 15th (during a music show) 8:00am-10:00am
Thursday March 22nd (during a music show) 8:00am-10:00am
Thursday March 27th (during a music show) 8:00am-10:00am

This means that we need to decide what date we will do it and who will be willing to go on the air and promote the exhibition. I need volunteers so I can let her know ASAP.

Let me know what you think and if you are willing to do it!

PROGRAM

Alright, I made thumbnails.










There are 24 here. I have EVERYONE who is on the photobucket. SO, if you don't see your image, that's why.

If you don't notify me here that you are sending one to Becky and your image will be up...I don't know, there's no way for me to add you.

Do we care that there are only 24 instead of "30"? I think we should get as close to 30 as possible. But I'm not going to go out of my way to make anyone else put their images up...we have had what...2 months or something to put our images up? So, yeah.

LABELS

Please post your label information here. Write your name as you would like it to appear, followed by the title, the year, and the medium for each work.

I also have questions:
1. By when should we have these printed?
2. Does gray paper on mat board feel right to everyone? I need to know where we should get these for the best price.

Facebook Event

Hey everyone, I posted an event for the exhibition on facebook so you could invite your friends out. You can add yourself to the event and message me to be an administrator so you can invite a bunch of people at once to the event. If you are unable to view my profile because it is privite just request to be my friend and I will invite you.

Notice

Just so everyone's aware, your posts will always show up below the calendar post. It has a future date so that it's always on top and we can view it easily.

INVITES...FLYERS...FLAGS

Ok, first:

Flags are officially ordered. They should be shipped sometime next week.

Second:

Jessica has printed her flyers, not including the designs we voted for from Lauren. Since we have so many hand-out type cards, a few of us discussed the idea of turning Lauren's design into something nicer. An invitation so-to-speak, but more like a show souvenir or brochure. This is something we can hand out personally to close friends that we know will come and not just throw away something that looks nice. This is also something we can hand to people at the door and they can read and look at while they're there-- AND take home so they remember their experience and who we are, our names...they can contact anyone if they are interested. The idea is to have this printed by C&S since Theo is urging us to take advantage of the situation and have something very nicely printed.

We discussed a folded design with the front part not completely folded to the edge (leaving room for a tab-like side to open from) with Lauren's design, inside we can have a thumbnail from each artist, and on the back a brief description of who we are and what the show is.

Here are some mock-ups (dimensions are 4.5" high x 9" long...with the front cover only being 7" long, so open the length is 4.5" x 16" total):

Okay folks, following is the press release with Teho and Meredith's changes. I'm sending it out today:

EXPOSED: A 30-ARTIST TAKEOVER

ORLANDO, FL –Emerging artists will invade the new 801 North Orange building, a mixed-used development recently completed by Ustler Development, Inc. located in Downtown Orlando, just North of Colonial Drive.

“Exposed,” features 30 artists who have teamed up with a local developers, Craig Ustler and Phil Rampey, for a unique, guerilla-style exhibition. The artists are doing everything –from curating and promotion, to temporarily transforming the building into a gallery space– without the assistance of a gallerist or dealer. The work will showcase a variety of styles and approaches in painting, drawing, sculpture, printmaking, and photography.

The exhibit will take place in an unfinished retail space on the first floor of the building from Thursday, March 29th – Saturday, March 31st. Viewing will be free and open to the public from 7-10pm each night. A reception will take place on the evening of Saturday, the 31st.

“We’re so glad we could provide the space for them to showcase their work,” said Meredith McGrath, a spokesperson for Ustler Development, Inc. “We gave them a raw space that has not yet been built-out. How they decide to arrange the space and make it work for them will prove how innovative they are.”

“The idea originated as a response to the question, ‘How can artists create exposure and awareness of their work outside of the traditional art gallery system,’” added Mike Schweizer, an artist whose own work reflects these concerns.

For more information, please send inquiries to exposedexhibition@gmail.com.

Ustler Development, Inc. is a full service urban real estate development company founded by Craig Ustler in 1998. Development projects include mixed-use, residential and office condominiums. Recent projects include Thornton Park Central, Eola South, Osceola Brownstones and 801 North Orange, which represent over $80 million in development activity.

Donation!

I spoke to my store manager during the weekend and he agreed to give us half of the amount of drywall needed, 8-10 sheets of 4x8. I just need to let him know when we will be picking it up.

Anyone have a truck?

Official Exhibition Title

Hey everyone, I know we are all sending out information about the show and I wanted to make sure all the titles are written the same because there are a few version floating around on the blog. The official way we decided to write the title in class was Exposed: A 30- Artist Takeover (with the number 30 and a hyphen).

Radio Promotions and Beyond!!!!!

Hey Everyone!
I contacted both WUCF (89.9 FM- the campus radio station) and WPRK (91.5 FM- Rollins College Radio) about possible audio announcements or PSA's concerning our exhibition.

Jan Whitehouse (the marketing manager at WUCF) told me that she will be able to add our event to the PSA announcements that are read on Saturday nights. All we have to do is send her the info about our event, and the host will read that info on the air. She said that the PSA list does get lengthy at times, so our announcement is not exactly guarenteed to be read every Saturday night until our event. The only other way that she can get the exhibition announced on the air is through an audio posting, which can cost $500 and up! I don't think we have the budget for that, so the PSA might be a good alternative.

When I called WPRK, I did not get to talk to the person that I needed to get a hold of, but I did get some information. I was told that we could probably get a FREE Audio posting or PSA on the air. The guy I talked to said that PSA's are read every hour of the day, so we would probably get a good amount of promotion. I left a message with the poromotions manager, and I should be finding out the details early next week.

Let me know what you think. Any other suggestions?

I am still compiling the contact lists, please send more to exposedexhibition@gmail.com
