Keeley-Week 1

My project is to plan the "Give the Gift of Art" holiday exhibit at the Shape Gallery. Because opening night is Nov. 4, I need to start the project now. Luckily the gallery holds a different exhibit every month, so the volunteers are used to planning these events quickly. Last week I attended the monthly meeting to find out what is currently going on with the gallery. This week I will be sending an email blast out to all the gallery members asking them to participate in the holiday exhibit. I will also be designing a logo for the event and creating post cards to send to members in the mail. Another goal I have is to create flyers for the event. Right now though, my main concern is getting artists to display their work.

I am about halfway done with my project proposal. I hope to finish it in the next two days. That way I will be able to dig deeper into what needs to be done. My biggest concern is not having enough time. I am also worried that the President of the gallery will do most of the design work, something that I really want to do for my portfolio. I will email him today about what he wants to be added on the promotional materials.
