Today John and I walked to the post office to return submissions back to people, which ended up being like 45 buxx to return them (them being in the teens). Which makes me realize that when sending in submissions to galleries in the future, to have a pre-stamped envelope (at least it will help pay for part).
Afterwards, I picked up where I left off of sorting through and organizing submissions. While I did this, Hallwalls had a staff meeting about upcoming events and programs in the near future and their possible concerns.
One thing I noticed while going through the files is that not all artists labeled their Slides... ARTISTS! PLEASE LABEL YOUR SUBMITTED SLIDES! It's for your own good. That is the thought that ran through my head as I organized. Yup.
After the staff meeting john and I looked at the submitted works, which I had just got done organizing by years submitted, starting with 2001 ending with 2006.
Our goal the next two weeks is to go through all the submissions before 2007, so that after the show, we are primarily only reviewing submissions from the year 2007.
