Friday (Set-up evening):
We had to set up late evening. We all brought the equipment to the exhibition and spent some time setting it up. Allister and Sally wanted to set up the interface when we were there. I would have preferred to do it beforehand in case we came across any problems but overall we felt the interface would be so simple it couldn't go wrong.
I had no problem putting my work into it but Sally came across a few problems. We solved her problems but we were there later than necessary and it looked a little unprofessional. Next time, I would definitely go with my initial concerns and prepare as much as I can beforehand.
Saturday (Day 1):
Saturday went well. Lot's of people came over to look at the work and we got some very positive feedback. There was an invitation to exhibit work at another crafts fair and talk of visiting a school to show the power of digital educational tools.
In the evening, there was a cheese and wine event for all the artists and friends to talk. We met some very interesting people and got to learn more about their work. We received a request from another artist to develop a yoga website for her.
Sunday (Day 2):
Sunday was quieter but it gave us more time to talk about our work to people and network with other artists. There were some interesting moments with more elderly visitors doing things such as trying to use the television as a touch screen. This showed me that when exhibiting, you definitely need to consider how that particular audience are going to identify with the work and how much help they may need.
