Confusion in Glass

Hi, hello again.

This isn't my last post, I'll do that one after work tomorrow, but I would like to say sorry if it seems that so many of my posts have been in a very short time frame. There wasn't much to talk about for most of the summer, I was mostly just doing front desk stuff. Nothing wrong with that, but not much to write about. But the past few weeks have been jam packed it feels like, so yea... Sorry for posting so much at the end~

So, today in particular I helped unpack a glass exhibit and move it into the room it will be displayed in. The glass art is nice and there is a decent amount of it, but I'm worried we won't be able to fit everything properly into the display cases and that many pieces may be a bit too tall... I'm also worried because the information we were sent regarding the pieces (names/ materials/ images/ so on) is wrong. Like super wrong. It was a list of 25, we have 40 pieces. Of the list of 25, only 2 pieces are actually in our possession. But someone has contacted the person who gave us the list, the artist's representative, to try and sort things out.

Additionally, I have been put in charge of sending out emails to almost 200 people in regards to the MBA's fundraising event, the 8x8. That was a bit exhausting to send out so many emails, but it's done and hopefully it will get at least a few more artists to donate to the museum.

And lastly, I wrote two short biographies for Salvador Dali and Geoffrey Laurence, which will (at some point) be put up near their works and remain in the museum after I myself actually am gone. I overheard Scott on the phone wanting to make sure the bio was good (it sounded like it was) so hopefully that will be up soon.

Tomorrow I'll be working more on the glass exhibit, trying to sort things out.
 I will be back again with my final post, so I'll see y'all again tomorrow~ <3

  1. Yikes! That is a little scary and frustrating that all of those 40 glass pieces that were sent were unaccounted for on the artist's inventory! She/he/they may need to get a new artist's representative (or whomever packed all of the glass pieces up)!

    I would love to see your 2 artist's biographies! Those 2 artists couldn't be more different so it must have been interesting to write them at the same time!
