Leading Into Week Two

What We Accomplished This Week
       Julia and I (Macey) have accomplished many things this week. We each spent time in different areas around Nashville this past weekend and captured a load of photographs. Julia went to Pinkerton Park, located in Downtown Franklin; while I (Macey) went to 12th South. We shot photos of railroad tracks, nature, and old buildings. We created a shared Google Photo Album for the photos we want to be in our gallery. A few weeks ago, we began reaching out to numerous places around Nashville to see where we can host our art gallery. Unfortunately, many of them told us that we couldn’t use their space, but one coffee shop in particular gave us a generous donation offer. Mr. Lehman the CEO , co-founder and chief janitor of CREMA Coffee will gladly match our earnings up to $500. To learn more about CREMA Coffee, or find a location nearest to you, visit their website at http://www.crema-coffee.com/. Currently, we are planning to host our art gallery at the South Campus Conference Center (SCC), located on Franklin Road Academy’s campus.

What We Are Working On Now
      Currently, we are working on a few different things. First, we are in the midst of researching the lowest prices for the many different sizes of photographs our attendees will be able to order, as well as the best prices for shipping the photographs our attendees have purchased from our gallery. We hope to have these prices sorted out for a better visual on how much we will be spending, and how much we will charge our customers for the pieces they wish to purchase. We plan to have a wide variety of sizes, as well as types of photographs available at the gallery. Second, we are currently working on arranging a specific time and date for the art gallery. Make sure to keep up with our weekly blogs for these updates!  

What We Plan To Do Next
       Once we have scheduled the specific date and time we will be holding our art gallery, we will begin to create flyers, and put them up around Nashville and its surrounding suburbs. These flyers will showcase the art gallery and contain all the information concerning it. With the flyers, we hope to attract many people outside of the school to attend, rather than just those from the school. Secondly, we wish to take a trip to CREMA Coffee to thank Mr. Lehman for his generous offer, and invite him to attend our gallery. Lastly, we plan to schedule a weekend where Julia and I (Macey) are able to meet up with our mentor, Miss Billi-Cate to take pictures and observe her techniques.
