To take best advantage of the exciting opportunity to present my first solo gallery show in a space that is significantly larger than anticipated by framing a larger number of pieces and taking steps to ensure that it is well attended and well received. Parts of this will be easy to measure. One measure will simply mean framing enough pieces to fill the gallery. With the help of American Indian Community Housing Organization, I will have estimated audience numbers. During the opening, my conversations with people attending the show will give me immediate feedback about the reception of my work. A discussion with American Indian Community Housing Organization after the opening where we reflect further on our impressions of how the event went will also be helpful.
More than 150 people attended the opening reception. Live music was provided by Mina Kaiser, who also wrote the limericks that accompanied some of the images. The number of people who saw the exhibit after the opening night, was approximately 600. The show generated some possible opportunities for more shows (ex: I have sent images to a gallery in New York City.) and my work will be sold in the AICHO shop.
