Setting up the 26th Annual Shades of Summer Art Show

Tonight once we set up the grids and got the tables ready we could then bring in our artwork and hang the paintings for the show.

With it being only four days instead of its usual nine days we needed the displays to be ready for the public to view first thing in the morning with an earlier starting time than in previous years.

Also with three of our members deciding not to exhibit at this show there was a lot more space available for paintings for the remaining eleven artists.

While there are many changes with this show, some of them are for the better.















One of which is having the panels run in a solid row down the centre of the church hall instead of it having a narrow open space in the grids, dividing them into two sections halfway down the row.

This always seemed to cause a bottle neck when large numbers of the public came in to view the exhibit.

It will be interesting to see how the hot and humid temperatures will affect the attendance at the show, as over the years attendance is usually lower.

Especially with today being 95F (35C) and the humidity making it feel like 105F (40.6C) and the next couple of days are to be even more hot and humid.

But since you cannot change the weather tomorrow is another day and we will take it as it comes.

















The hours for our show are:
11 Aug 16 - 9:00am - 5:00pm
12 Aug 16 - 9:00am - 5:00pm
13 Aug 16 - 9:00am - 5:00pm
14 Aug 16 - 12:30pm - 4:00pm

Hopefully some of you will make it out to see the show.
