I visited the ARC Gallery for an opening this weekend, and was for the first time introduced to the group as a member. What a thrill! They even put my name up on the wall (see below).
The ARC Gallery at 2156 N Damen in Chicago is an all-women membership and the members run the gallery. So I will be learning about curating, putting up shows, taking down shows, community outreach, selling work, running a non-profit, and all sorts of things I can't even imagine right now.
I am so thrilled that this very cool institution has accepted me as a member and can't wait to get started!
