I am panicking right now. In a minor way. But still.
Someone from 1st Street Gallery (well-known locally) saw my piece in the school's senior art exhibition. I'm not a senior, btw, but that's a whole nother story. Anyways, they called me and asked if I had a cohesive body of work to put in their summer show. WOW. Me? In a real actual gallery show? That's awesome. That's amazing! That's-
Crap. I don't know what counts as a "body of work." How many pieces? How large? They probably need a theme, but I don't know how obvious/strict/whatever it needs to be. Heck, I don't even know whether she was talking about ceramics or charcoal. Or about how to present things professionally, or what they're looking for, or ANYTHING, because I've never done anything like this. I've never even had my work in a juried show before. Jumping straight from open-entry two-drawings-per-artist type shows to a full-on gallery exhibition is.... um. Terrifying. But also awesome.
I don't want to do something wrong and seem unprofessional. But I don't want to ask too many stupid questions and seem unprofessional. Honestly I'm not even sure they'll take my stuff, so there's no point getting worked up about it, but I'm just waaaaaay too neurotic for my own good.
