I attended the private view for the Sock Gallery Open Exhibition this evening and I felt it was a positive experience. It was really great to see the gallery so busy and being able to see the other work on display. There was a wide variety of work but paintings still dominated the gallery. Mine was one of a few monochrome pieces and I believe it was the only one completed with pen and ink. This gave me a bit of a boost because I felt like I was doing something a bit different to the other artists.
The standard of work was excellent and I really enjoyed having a look around such a wide variety of work, it was impossible to tell who was an amateur and who was a professional.
I had expected people to be more sociable and chatty at the exhibition but I did spot a few familiar faces through through various connections including people I met at ‘Art This Way’ a few weeks ago. There is a clear artistic community in Loughborough that I feel I could become a part of as time goes on and I continue to get involved in creative events in my hometown.
