Lions, Tigers, Bears, Etc. opened Friday night, and it was a huge hit! It was so great to see the gallery full of people, and we got to put little red dots next to a lot of the work. Unfortunately, I didn’t get too many photos of the crowds since I was most often a member of the crowd, but here are a couple shots.

There were people waiting at the doors when we opened them, and there were never fewer than 20 people in the gallery, with the peak coming to over 70 people around 9:30. It’s not that big of a space, so it was great to see people crowd in for it. They were in a good mood, too, and I think that helped a number of the pieces sell.

It was great to talk to all the guests, especially before they knew I was the curator of the show. I got some good candid feedback. Everyone kept asking which piece in the show was mine, but I intentionally kept myself out of the show– it was enough work getting it ready without trying to finish a piece of my own, too. I was able to point out my custom Circus Punks, which are now available for sale through Wootini (along with some of my other work). I also drummed up some interest for my own solo show at the gallery in November.

Thank you to everyone who came out to the opening, and a huge thank you to all of the artists who made this show so amazing! For everyone looking for documentation of the entire show, it’s coming…
