Museum Installation

April 23, 2006

I couldn’t stand it and had to sneak over to the museum to see Jim and Gregory hanging the Uncommon Threads show. I love these big portable walls that stand in the middle of the main gallery. Impressive space, isn’t it? That’s Jim the curator in the corner trying to make sense of the list of the 78 art quilts that we brought him.

It was probably good to get in a little practice with my camera under the mixed lighting conditions because tomorrow I will be taking photos of the quilts and our reception. The reception will be 5-7 p.m. but there is another big event going on at the same time, so it will be interesting to see how many people make it to the reception.

A friend is retiring from the position of city manager, and a whole Cardinal baseball game has been named in honor of his retirement. After our reception, we’re going to try to go to the game — so it’s interesting to think about dressing for an art reception AND a baseball game. And there’s also Merrilee’s tailgate party to remember since she found out the city-owned museum won’t be serving wine at the reception and is stocking up her jeep. I’m thinking those red cowboy boots will work pretty well. I tried them on tonight with a couple of my dressier ensembles, and the boots were definitely a glamorous touch.
