Milwaukee World Festival, Inc.’s Post

Want to build some hype for an upcoming exhibit opening? Sneak peeks are my favorite!! I don't know about you but a good time lapse video, tiny sneak peek circle cut into a partition wall, or a behind the scenes post gets me every time! As you're transitioning to a new exhibit, don't forget to invite your marketing team down with their camera!! ... or take some pics yourself and pass them on. Not only is it great to have the documentation, but I'm telling you... your visitors will be so excited when the space finally opens because the curiosity has been sparked as to what might be behind those walls, partitions, or curtains! PS... if it's a traveling exhibit... double check your contract!! Many time they aren't too keen on sneak peeks or unfinished previews, especially if it's a licensed exhibit. Maybe ask for permission to get creative with loose parts or signage. 🤔🤩 #exhibitdesign #transitionalexhibits #newspaces #museums

Looked through my archives for some ideas for October 10 project and found one of my almost completed blockout. It was inspired by Tomb Raider series. Puzzles solving, exploration and some bits of history hidden on the level. Project made with Unity with some ready props. #leveldesign #unity #blockout

In Aspen, a New Art Fair Follows the Money https://ift.tt/IxWYGNa A down art market? Depressed dealers? Fatigued buyers? None of that matters in Aspen, Colo. At least, that is the theory behind a new art fair in the city when the global arts industry is in a slump. Aspen is both rich and spendy, with one of the highest concentrations of ultrawealthy homeowners in the country. Even the worst of times is not all that bad here, said Doug Leibinger, a longtime real estate agent in Aspen, who represented the seller in a $77 million cash deal for an eight-bedroom home in April, setting a Colorado sales record during a downturn in the U.S. housing market. The record was broken again with another Aspen deal just a week later. “Our marketplace is anomalous to the rest of the planet,” Leibinger said. “There are people who find Aspen desirable regardless of what happens in the greater economy. “ All those bursting wallets and bare walls add up to a consistent demand for paintings and sculpture, enough for Rebecca Hoffman, the founder of the Aspen Art Fair, to plunge ahead confidently with her event, even when trade reports show international art spending down more than 10 percent in 2023. The inaugural fair, staged at the Hotel Jerome, a 135-year-old resort, ends on Friday. Visitors were elbow to elbow during Monday’s opening preview, and there were bustling crowds the first few days; many of the 22 galleries reported multiple sales by Wednesday. Prices varied, with a number of offerings in the $12,000 to $40,000 range, in line with the leading fairs of comparable size. (Art Basel Miami Beach in 2023, with its nearly 300 exhibitors, still dwarfed this fair.) Business News via NYT > Business https://ift.tt/C4wZbXW August 2, 2024 at 02:12AM

Our half-term kicked off with an early inset day last week (gahh), cue...what the hell am I going to do with the kids last minute stress. So, I decided to utilise the fact the rest of the world was probably still at school and finally booked tickets to The Balloon Museum — a destination that had been buzzing with praise, though I initially harboured doubts about its potential to captivate. Yet, from the moment we stepped inside, any skepticism melted away; it was nothing short of fantastic. I wholeheartedly recommend it if you haven't been! The museum effortlessly caters to both the child within every adult and, of course, the kids themselves. Its allure is undeniable, with every corner offering an opportunity for an Instagram-worthy moment. Yet, what truly sets it apart is the seamless integration of beauty and interactivity. Visitors not only admire but also actively engage with the exhibits, all centered around the simple yet enchanting theme of balloons. In an age where standing out is paramount, The Balloon Museum has perfected the art. It eschews flashy technology and gimmicks in favor of pure, unadulterated play. Its success lies in its simplicity—a testament to the power of immersive experiences done right. If you haven't experienced it yet, I urge you to make it a priority. It serves as a poignant reminder that creating memorable events doesn't have to be convoluted and that sometimes, simplicity works best! #familyfun #museums #balloons #immersiveexperiences #eventprofsuk

Small galleries are the driving force in the arts ecosystem: introducing emerging artists to the market, cultivating new collectors, and maintaining creative culture throughout towns and cities worldwide. However, due to challenges like high rental costs, working with limited budgets and resources, scaling a small gallery can sometimes feel like an overwhelming task. I sat down with Erin Schuppert, the fair director of Affordable Art Fair New York, on a webinar last week to explore these key challenges and how Artlogic and Affordable Art Fair are helping galleries scale.
