![]() (By the way, I’ve staged about 5 CD release shows in my time, & I’m finding this to be very similar – the only difference really is that instead of 15 or so songs, it’s 15 or so art pieces.)īack to the money aspect, and we have the City of Ottawa to thank, for a heritage grant I received earlier this year in support of this project you’re seeing today, plus for my related apt613 column. As a working musician, I do play Top-40 covers gigs regularly in pubs around town. I work in the gig economy, and post-covid I’ve been bouncing from gig to gig, for instance postering last month, and gift-wrapping this month. In this venture thus far, I may possibly have broken even. ![]() As a singer-songwriter & recording artist, I lost a lot of money. Some people wonder if this is my job: it is not. I started studying Ontario history in 2015, & was immediately drawn to the imagery side if things, along with uncovering - & then sharing - previously unknown, or otherwise forgotten stories. Music was my 'hobby' & when it became my job I needed a new hobby. The first indication is then to feel comfortable and have a good time, because it is possible that you just received an invitation without being too much of a fan of openings.I’ll start with a little background as to where this is all coming from. Therefore, in relation to the fact, do not get confused with the outfit and wear what you have in the wardrobe in accordance with the invitation, the place and the fame of the artist. Where to find special outfits to go to an opening The popularity of the artist is also a game-changer for how the opening party will look. And like any other party, a vernissage with sophisticated catered wine and hors d’oeuvres in the presence of speeches will be more formal and elegant than one that features beer and loudmouths. A vernissage that opts for the 5 to 7 formula on a Friday, for example, will get less than a vernissage party that starts at 8 p.m. A vernissage held in a museum will not attract the same clients as one held in the middle of a shopping mall. It can even be programmed according to his schedule. The openings depend on the artist and the place and the type varies from formal and chic to more casual and others only festive mood. And of course all openings are not the same. It’s the time of year for cultural events and an intense period of exhibition openings. If you have brought a coat or a bag, leave them in the checkroom so as not to clutter the room, and to avoid hanging them on a work of art. Be sure to wear something casual and original. Avoid exposing yourself with very daring colors or too intense perfumes, plus the crowd and the spotlights will make the heat rise quickly. Because during an opening, many artists attend openings and your look will go unnoticed. Even if other people are dressed in fancy clothes, they may play a role during the vernissage, such as speeches or other artists attending. An art opening is not a gala event where it is your attire that will mark the party, but your presence and your appreciation of the artist’s talents. There is no need to be dressed up unless your invitation requires it or asks for it. The best way to feel comfortable at a party is to wear your usual outfit even for an opening. ![]() ![]() To be comfortable at a party you need to start feeling comfortable with what you are wearing. You have been invited to a vernissage and you are wondering about the appropriate outfit for this event.
