Okay, so I'm super excited for this bundle because I'm working at a gallery this summer (bizarre coincidence)! It's this very large yacht docked in Newport from June-September. You can learn all about it here. I'm technically an administrative assistant hired to chase down artists/gallery owners for their contracts, but I've been snagged by the owner of the ship and I've basically been doing her bidding for the last few days. What I've learned: galleries are super-duper nitpicky and very detail oriented. I spent today unpacking, numbering, and cross referencing 40 or 50 paintings (there was a translation issue with some of the titles of a Mexican artist, Rufino Tamayo). Definitely using this experience [I've never worked for a gallery before, it's incredible] to influence/ shape this project. Promise I won't "borrow" any of the galleries I'm working on, only using them as inspiration for my own!
And if anybody is in the area and wants to visit the boat for the "go there" COME! It's beautiful! tickets for a day pass are $15 online. Also, we change our galleries out every one or two weeks so you can come throughout the summer and see something new every time.
Or, try RISD museum. I go there at least once a year if not more. They have pay-what-you-want Sundays from 10am-1pm (hello free admission) as well as student discounts ($3 with ID). LOVE their impressionist collection and their Japanese woodblock collection. The whole place is pretty awesome.
loooooving this last bundle!!!
