Weekly Reflection: 5/23-5/28

This week I learned what it takes to put on an art show! It takes a significant amount of energy as I have learned this week. However, while it was difficult I thoroughly enjoyed what I was doing the whole time.

I began the week with printing all of the photos for the art exhibit. Once they were printed I began my advertising process. I sent out several flyers and sent out invites over facebook and email. I then began looking up recipes for my event. This is where it started getting really fun. On the morning of the exhibit I cooked cooked cooked and cooked some more. I made so much food. The food consisted of tomato bruschetta and roasted red pepper bruschetta. I also made a delicious assortment of meat, cheese and bread. For drinks I made some organic iced green tea with lemon verbena from the garden. It was delicious. The day of the exhibit was slightly crazy, but still fun. Many people came to the event to see some good pictures, eat yummy food, and enjoy the company of others. It was a real social seen, which I was happy about. People felt comfortable in the environment and really took the time to look at my pictures.

I had so much fun with the exhibit and have learned that I really like that energy of putting on a show. No matter what I end up doing in life, I have learned that I want to be surrounded by people, life, and art. Putting on a show has really taught me this.
