What should the art show hours be?
Most art shows open at 10:00 AM. Staying open late, say 10:00 or 11:00 PM gives people a place to hang out and socialize with the artists. If the art show is left open, then people will hang out there. Put a few extra chairs somewhere in the art show so folks will be inspired to linger and talk. The art show should be set up on Wednesday night if possible. If you can’t get into the room until Thursday, set up the panels as early as possible so the artists can start hanging their work by Noon. Open the art show as soon as possible, once the majority of the artists have finished their set up, preferably by 5:00 PM Thursday.
