What I have learned about organizing an exhibit is that people do not realize how much work goes into preparing it. What they see is the finished product and that alone is only a small portion of the bigger picture. The easiest part was deciding what theme I wanted to do, and all of these ideas went running through my mind. The harder part was finding works that fit perfectly with the rest so that it all came together and worked well as a whole.
I found myself digging and digging trying to find every detail we needed to provide to the viewers such as date of creation and dimensions. I have actually had my work included in exhibitions, and after curating this virtual exhibit I am actually thinking of putting one together in the future. I see what work has to go into it, how to go about finding the perfect pieces and also the satisfaction it brings to see all of the work that was put into creating an exhibit was all worth it. What I found interesting about connecting artists to a common theme was that the connection could be anything! You can connect a piece to another by mood, colors, style, and even by the personalities of the artists who created them.
