I've been telling people it's not, I didn't do the show for charity.
I did it because these kids are doing great work.
Yeah the show is called Kids From Commerce and it is about basically what happened last
semester in our painting class and we just made tons of work and stayed up at the school
like you know till the morning sometime working all night making tons of really great artwork
and all really goes together really well it's really a cohesive show.
Coming into the show I wasn't really sure how the turnout would be because it's such
a small gallery and I think that our school is very small but coming here we had an amazing
turnout, tons of people, alumni, people who just you know have been to this gallery before,
students, professors, just a really good community of people and I really enjoyed it.
I think there's six artists featured in this show and as well as from like Diverse, it's
not just all painting or sculpture, it's video, you know documentary, like painting, sculpture,
drawing, photography, you know I think the, and like Randall put this thing you know that
it highlights the experimental you know free-willing nature of the universities.
You know grad students have a hard time getting a show like this so for an undergrad to be
a part of an exhibition gallery in downtown Dallas in the design district is enormous
and not just for us individuals but for the school as well, I mean this is a great exposure
for Texas A&M Congress and I just feel blessed to be a part of it.
Art tends to be more solitary, kind of egocentric and so they're collaborating, that's exciting,
they're working experimentally so they're not devoted to a particular tradition, you
know each of them are learning about various traditions but they're taking it all you know
into new areas and that's what you want young artists, any artists to be doing.
