How a Show Comes Together

The Anything Goes sign

It's like theatre, really. There's the anticipation of opening night, the vernissage, which in this case is in three days. Things appear chaotic but with a pull  here and a tug there, the show starts to come together.

I was surprised to see a  large U-Haul backed into the side yard of the gallery and a crew of struggling people unloading heavy crates that revealed sculpture by Deborah Arnold. Evocative and lovely pieces. And what a superb showcase for her work and that of other sculptures in the Sculpture Garden, an outdoor oasis that bathes each piece in natural and clear light.

I can attest that Anything Goes is an art show you won't want to miss.

Come Thursday's vernissage, the gallery will be unrecognizable from today
