Here I am on 3-14-12 touching up pedestals for the youth art show with some white paint. As I was working students from The School for the Deaf came in and it was a pleasure to meet them and see them very excited to view their artwork within a gallery setting.

On 3-7-12 I helped hang art for the current show at SAA of youth artists from different schools within and around Salem. The show displays a large amount of all kinds of art from drawing to book art.

On the weekend of March 3-4 I participated with a mosaic class. It was nice to help out as well as make a piece myself. I helped the instructor Lynn Takata with all of her supplies including tiles as well as saws and other tool. She was a great instructor and a really nice woman.

02-22-12 through the 25th Preparation for the ClayBall

The first photo is of my internship shift on the 22nd. I made decorations for the Clay Ball, the clay ball is an annual fundraiser for SAA and involves auctions and photo booths and dinner! It was a really pleasant experience with around 600 people I believe. It was really interesting to see the process of pulling something of this magnitude off. This year's theme was 60's and the above photo is of my girlfriend Amber and I at the hautebooth.com photo booth!

For February the 3rd as well as the 9th I worked on compiling a catalog documenting the show I helped install by artist Jessie Reid. Here I am touching up some photographs that I took of the show. I used Blurb.com to put together a simple documentation catalog.

Today I documented the shows on display at the gallery with photographs. I learned the importance of documentation of the shows for historical record keeping for the gallery. I also learned how to order vinyl lettering for titling of the shows.

Today at the gallery I rearranged some items in the storage room and cleaned up a bit. After an hour or so of that I was able to handle prints by Salvador Dali and use the 3d mirror glasses that you can see in the photo. I also helped set up for a meeting involving planning out 2013's schedule for the gallery. I was able to participate in the meeting as I am having a show in March and April of 2013 in the Focus gallery.
