It might be a good idea to set up a flickr account, you can download free tools that make uploading easy as a drag and drop from your desktop or iPhoto. Plus, we can pool them all together from separate accounts.

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.

Rollins Radio Talkshow!!
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
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
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.

INVITES...FLYERS...FLAGS
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):

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.

Official Exhibition Title
Radio Promotions and Beyond!!!!!
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

Possible letter to home depot
I was informed by my store manager that they issue gift cards in $25 increments.
Management team of the Alafaya Trail Home Depot
Emerge is a 30 artist collective made of graduating Bachelor of Fine Arts students from the University of Central Florida. Our goal for the semester is to host a three day gallery event, March 29-31, which will be free and opened to the public in downtown Orlando. We will be hosting the event at 801 North Orange Drive, a currently vacate storefront, that is still in the rough stages of construction.
The location requires a lot of building materials to transform it into a gallery space where painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, and video, in a variety of styles and approaches can be displayed. The necessary materials range from 4x8 sheets of drywall and 4x4x12 wood post to make partitions and high hat furring channels and 4’ fluorescent light fixtures to prove sufficient lighting, along with hardware, hanging screws and shelf brackets.
* I’m just using the materials that have been list under budget on the blog
The only funding we have comes directly from the students. We would greatly appreciate any donations that the store can afford to give.
Thank you for you time and consideration.
For further information please connect,
*I don’t know if we should just include my connect information since I work there or something else?
Give me feedback! Let me know if there is anything you want included or changed.

total wall space needed (actual work only): 1659" = 138.25 ft
available wall space (potentially) = 164 ft
available partition space= 144 ft, not counting height for larger pieces
So, you can see that either we're going to be really, really cramped on the partitions, or we're going to have to use the wall space (which I know was already being considered).
So, we'll need to update the budget with these new numbers, or start paring down the work.

Lighting and Wall Plans
http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h98/dyovino/lightplan.gif
Thursday, February 22, 2007
Budget Stuff
Drywall (4'x8'): $9.94
- 16 pieces = $159.04
- However, we need 32 by my count which = $318.08
Pallet wood Free - Sarah assures us she can find them.
Posts (4"x4"x12') = $12.97
- 16 pieces = $207.52
Metal frames to attach lighting (high hat furring channels, 12'): $4.09
- 208 ft.* = 18 pieces = $73.62
Flourescent light fixtures (4'): $9
- 18 fixtures* = $162.00
Shelf brackets: $1.09
- 30 brackets* = $32.70
Hanging screws: $8.54
- 2 boxes = $17.08
Sod: Free
- Have you ever heard the old maxim, "There is no such thing as a free pile of sod" (TINSTAAFPOS)? It's just not true.
Screws: Free
- Ryan will generously donate them to us once he buys some.
*My estimates here are based on a very rough idea for a lighting situation which will be explained later.
Total: $811
Other expenses:
Extension cords?
Stepping stones?
Food?
Traditional Promotion
The back side of the card would just have our basic information. White background, with the title, subtitle, logo, website, location and time. Should we have all the participants names? Also, I wasn't sure if we were going to mailing these out or just passing them out to different locations. If we are mailing, then we would have to have a space for addresses and postage.
Proposed Floor Plans
When I spoke with Theo about the placement of partitions he said that people generally do not want to enter a show and immediately understand the entire space and what they are looking at, so on some of the designs there is a partition parallel to and about 10 ft from the entrance that will act as sort of an obstruction to seeing the entire show at once. We could either display the show name or work on it.
These are just some rough ideas, so please let me know if you have any ideas or suggestions. Thanks!
Press Release Deft/Daft Draft
Exposed: Artists take over building.
MARCH 29-31, 2007 – New work by emerging artists will be displayed in the ¬¬NAME building, currently under construction in downtown Orlando at ADDRESS.
“Exposed,” features 30 artists who have teamed up with a local developer for a unique, guerilla-style exhibition. Work includes painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, and video, in a variety of styles and approaches.
Viewing will be available Thursday, March 29th – Saturday, March 31st each night from 6-9pm. Exhibit is free and open to the public.
“Shows like this are becoming more and more popular. There is something exciting about walking into a room and not knowing what to expect other than ‘this is going to be good,’” said Jonathan Scarboro, one of the artists arranging the exhibition.
I’M NOT IN LOVE W/ THE SECOND HALF OF THE SECOND QUOTED SENTENCE (and not knowing – going to be good). ANY IDEAS?
I WANT TO HAVE A QUOTE FROM MELINDA ABOUT WORKING WITH US HERE. (I'LL E-MAIL HER LATER)
WHO WANTS TO BE THE SPOKESPERSON TO BE CONTACTED FOR MORE INFO? THIS WOULD MEAN GIVING OUT YOUR PHONE # AND E-MAIL, AND KNOWING HOW TO ANSWER QUESTIONS.
ANY OTHER THOUGHTS? THINGS I NEED TO ADDRESS? I’LL FILL IN THE REST OF THE RELEASE ONCE I HAVE THE CONTENT DOWN.

Photos and Floor plan
This may help the groups figure out some plans. I've drawn the walls from the floorplan with the corresponding color on the photos. It should help to see what we have to work with.
Granted, these are just rough estimates (and crappy photos), but they should be helpful. I think the space is a little more limited than we originally thought, but we won't know anything for sure until get the information on the walls.
If anyone wants the original photos without the color, let me know and I'll post them.

Information request
Tuesday, February 13, 2007
Really, what’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet. We all are going to show our work, and the name in itself doesn’t much matter. Your own parents will, at the show, misquote the name of the very event they’re attending.
But, the process by which we market it does make a difference.
Take for instance, Raw and Dirty. It’s provocative all by itself. I could envision an advertisement as simple as
Raw and Dirty.
Date.
Time.
Place.
No other information. Especially not “art show” anywhere on that. Having some experience in printmaking, I’m thinking of printing glue or some sort of adhesive, even ink would work, then flocking (sprinkling) it with dirt and detritus.
Or, using Mr. Acconci’s method of using a thesaurus, I started at emerge, and ended at Coming to Light. This just screams to exploit the ambiguity of the title, and can be done in a number of ways. Advertisements could picture a seed coming to the light. A low-lit space could work, with small spotlights on the work itself. We could bring people in by using LED throwies on the sidewalks. There’s a lot of stuff that could come from this.
