SUMMARY:Tell Me a Story (Online 3/30-6/10)
DESCRIPTION:Tell Me a Story Art Exhibit\nOnline Exhibit runs March 30-June 10\, 2020\nThis is the story of curating an art exhibit at an unusual time. \nThe Tell Me a Story exhibit opened on March 6\, 2020 at Del Ray Artisans gallery with a busy reception and high praise. The walls are packed with artwork: 189 pieces in the exhibit and 134 pieces in the art-to-go marketplace. This is nearly double the size of a typical exhibit in this space—with work from 95 artists on display. \nAs safety guidelines changed\, this exhibit was extended to April 26; then\, ultimately\, on March 23 the gallery was closed to the public until further notice. At this time\, we rose to the challenge and posted the artwork in a Flickr album\, so the exhibit could still be viewed. \nIf you would like to purchase artwork\, please email the artwork title\, artist’s name\, or description to Gallery@DelRayArtisans.org or Technology@DelRayArtisans.org by June 10\, 2020. Purchased artwork will be available for pick up after the gallery reopens. \nView the Artwork \nMy Journey as Curator\nWhen I was developing the theme for this exhibit\, it was important to me to be able to include a variety of visual art and literary works by local artists. The idea was to be able to look at any piece of art and then let the story unfold. Everyone’s story is different; and there are many ways to express your story. \nStill I was overwhelmed by the response. This exhibit received nearly double the expected amount of entries\, and I needed to cull about a third of the work in order to have any hope of fitting it into the gallery. (There was a moment when I considered putting art on the ceiling!) \nWe had an outstanding team of volunteers at artwork receiving (when artists drop off accepted pieces) and helping arrange the display. I took the video below after the exhibit’s first round of hanging. Tweaks were made later and temporary artwork tags (seen hanging off the pieces in the video) were replaced by wall tags. \nThe week of artwork receiving and hanging is always the busiest for the curator. It’s such a reward to see everyone’s reaction to the collection at the opening reception—and the reception was crowded! The exhibit was well received\, and many buyers went home with great art from the art-to-go marketplace and reserved exhibit art for later pick up. \nThen COVID-19. As we learned more about the illness\, it became clear the gallery would be closing. How do we share the art safely? The internet to the rescue. \nThank you to all the artists who submitted photos of their work and to the volunteers who took additional photos. Together we were able to capture the essence of the exhibit through pictures\, so you can still take this imaginative journey with us. \n\n“Something’s Brewing” by Lesley Hall\, acrylic\, $337\, 8×11″\nIn the description for each artwork in the Flickr album\, you’ll find the artwork title\, artist\, media\, price\, and dimensions. If you would like to purchase an artwork\, please send the title\, description\, and/or artist’s name to Gallery@DelRayArtisans.org and Technology@DelRayArtisans.org to make arrangements. The artwork is available for purchase until June 10\, 2020\, and it will be available for pickup after the gallery reopens. \nWe will also be sharing some of the artists’ stories on social media\, so be sure to follow Del Ray Artisans on Instagram\, Facebook\, and Twitter. \nThank you the artists\, the volunteers\, and patrons for celebrating the arts. \n—Lesley Hall\, curator \nDel Ray Artisans’ gallery is located in the Colasanto Center\, 2704 Mount Vernon Avenue\, Alexandria\, Virginia\, but is closed until further notice (effective March 23\, 2020). Check DelRayArtisans.org for schedule updates. \n\nDel Ray Artisans\, founded in 1992\, is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to promote art for the benefit of artists and the community.  \nDel Ray Artisans (DRA) appreciates the continued support from the City of Alexandria\, Alexandria Commission for the Arts\, Virginia Commission for the Arts\, and National Endowment for the Arts. DRA is a 501(c)(3) organization.
