'What on eARTh' 2015

Wednesday 20th May, 2015 - Leigh Turnpike
Exhibition Opening Night 
The opening night to the show was a great success and the feedback received was amazing. 
I couldn't of chosen a better team to of been involved with and I would like to thank them for putting so much hard work and commitment towards it; Chloe Reynolds, Calum Rennox, Georgia Smallshaw, Lee Paton. It was great to finish my HND off with such a high standard. 

Sold

'Hi Charlotte, I'm a student from Bolton Uni and I'm having my second year exhibition at the moment and after going to the preview my boyfriends dad really likes one of your pieces. He asked me to tell you if you are selling one of those and how much? This is the one he really liked'

I have recently had some great feedback on my work, and this is another piece which has gone to a new home. I am really surprised at the current responses I am receiving. 


Sponsorship

An important aspect of my modules and in preparation for our upcoming show, it was important for us to attract sponsorship in order to support the financial obligations of curating and running an exhibition. 

I contacted J.Fletcher Engineers with regards to sponsorship. We are extremely pleased to receive their kind £50 donation. 

Social Media


To advertise our newly created group & to promote the show I have created a Twitter account for Foursight Art. This is a great way to publicise to a wide range of companies, organisations and people. It is also a fantastic way to communicate with other artists and art groups, for future contacts.

Communication outside of college will also play a vital part in the effective organisation and successful completion of the show.

Using our facebook page we can constantly discuss any ideas / problems or queries that we may be facing during the progress of our final project. This has been an efficient tool particularly because it is easy to utilise for group comments and discussions.    

Sale of my first artwork

'Hi Charlotte , I have seen your canvas art at Wigan hospital and love it! Please inbox me a price list of what you have for sale, Thanks'
I recently sold a canvas which I had displayed at Royal Albert Infirmary, Wigan. The buyer contacted me through social media, where I was able to negotiate a price and delivery. It was a major confidence boost that somebody would be interested in purchasing one of my pieces and I am glad it has been hung in a new home.

'My neighbour has helped put this up just couldn't wait lol....How beautiful is that'
