I am very excited to say that I am the Gallery Manager of the Nils Lou Gallery at Linfield College. I am learning the logistics of how to run a gallery. My plan for December and early January is to create a gallery Nils would be proud to call his own. This means I will negotiate with facilities to remove the baseboards that are currently on the wall. I will also negotiate with them to get the paint removed from the floor so that only concrete floors show. I will patch up and smooth the walls myself. I will then paint all of the walls white. I will fix the pedestals over this time as well. Each show will have publicity, and a formal statement that is mounted.
I have already met with facilities once and they will remove the baseboards over December. I have also created and distributed a schedule for the professors that are in charge of the classes that will be showing in the gallery. I have also contacted Linfield College's student government about publicity for all of the shows. Hopefully there will be flyers for each show, that I will design. As well as table tents in our dining hall and on campus Starbucks for our two biggest shows.
I am learning so much and feel tremendously honored to have a chance to run this space. I hope I can do Nils justice!
