A meeting was held for the EV 2014 participants and worker bees before our August monthly meeting August13: about a dozen folks attended and discussed some of the outcomes, suggestions for improvement and to hear the feedback for all sorts of sources... the general consensus was that it was a wonderful show and very well received by those who saw it --- unfortunately attendance was very low this year... A possible option for amending that problem was also presented and discussed --- it is outlined in these minutes...
Eclectic Vision’ Debriefing
August 13, 2014
Quick Stats
2014 = 600 (plus) attendees for a 13 day run
A Possible New Approach for Eclectic Visions…
Several factors coming together all at once has lead the Club Executive to consider new options for Eclectic Visions…
Curt has approached Gallery 8 in Grace Point Square about having the EV Show 2015 in the upstairs gallery and Razali Wahab (Gallery 8 owner) has expressed interest in the proposal…
This is a new idea and something of an experiment for both Gallery 8 and the Photo Club… but could be a Win/Win for both...
Approval to explore the Gallery 8 Option further was given by those attending the EV Debriefing and the August Club meeting…
Things have progressed a bit further since those meetings and here are some the details we have to date:
1. a modest $10 increase to $70/person…
2. The club could subsidize the extra costs
At both the Debriefing and the Monthly meetings… there was a great deal of enthusiasm for this new Adventure for Eclectic Visions 2015… it will be interesting to see how it will unfold…
Thanks to all who helped, submitted, attended Eclectic Visions 2014… It was a wonderful show and many people praised our members for their vision and their creativity… well done all…
Great job Avril and her team… and what a team it was too…
Let us know what you think of this new options... we would like to hear from everyone...
Well done, Marg. Enjoyed both blogs--one correction. Doug only is at Embe this time--he has a great collection of images involving separation (and trees). I ran out of frames!
Good points, Bob. But maybe we have to see this show as something separate from Gallery 8 and the standards Razali sets in his part of the building, in that we are renting space and have our own agenda to follow. All we really want is a visible, accessible spot to show which will draw more people than Artspring typically has.
So, keeping all your good points in mind, I would suggest we look at this as a one-time experiment to see if the exposure we get is better, if everyone feels comfortable in the new venue and no-one feels intimidated. Or if, in fact, club members are possibly thrilled to be given this opportunity.
Also, knowing now how much work it is to organize one big show per year, I think two might be pushing it a bit.
Thanks, Bob, for thinking about this and offering your opinion. I had the same thoughts re commercialism and what the club stands for myself, but I don't honestly feel that a one-year try-out will hurt us.
