Square Foot Show

The Square Foot show reception was much better attended than I'd expected between both the frigid weather and the fact that the show has already been up for a month (with a preview at Off the Wall at City Hall no less). ArtDimensions always draws a good crowd though.

In regards to the show itself, I was impressed with both the level of work exhibited and the display of the show. It's always difficult to judge how well an inclusive show will go both from a curatorial standpoint and in regards to the quality of work submitted, and I think that ArtDimensions did a great job with it. It helps a lot that the canvases were standardized so that everything flowed smoothly and was cohesive.

I was especially pleasantly surprised to find that the show was not hung salon style, as many inclusive shows are. (Sure some select pieces were hung salon style, but many of those were specifically meant to be.) The show could have been hung salon style and a solo show exhibited in the main solo gallery, but instead the Square Foot show was given enough space that this was not necessary.
