The cool thing about the Internet is that we can connect with people and experience things even when we can’t be there in person.
Artist Brenda Marks is having a virtual reception to coincide with her real opening reception tonight. She’s giving away a free print to those who stop in and comment on today’s post on her Making Marks blog.

Thank you, Alyson!
Thanks for calling attention to Brenda’s virtual reception and drawing. I simply had to share it on my author blog, where I often host authors during their virtual blog tours. http://maryemmallen.blogspot.com/2007/09/brenda-marks-online-reception-and.html
What a great idea! I just went over to Brenda’s site and wanted to say thanks mucho for sharing this with us. I have my first opening tonight and love that I now know how to add another dimension to sharing my work with others who won’t be here in New Orleans tonight. Best regards from a big fan, ~ melissa
Mary Emma: Thanks for the mention. I hope your readers are inspired. Melissa: Sounds like you are inspired. We’d love to hear how your opening goes.
Not only did I visit Brenda, I got a print! Now that’s quick and positive feedback for supporting another artist! Brenda and I found each other through you, Alyson. Thanks!
Virtual reception, what a great idea! I’m having my first Exhibition Sept 17-Nov 1. I may try this approach. Thanks Alyson, I’ve learned so much from you. Nicki
Hi Alyson, Inspired? That would be a BIG yes! Thanks again to both you and Brenda Marks. My opening went very well and the exhibit as a whole was spot on. Respected jurors and great gallery owners and staff are priceless. I’ve posted the opening night info. containing a link to where you can view the entire exhibit online at http://melissaroberts.typepad.com I think the gallery’s decision to have a virtual exhibit is a great idea and mutually beneficial to all involved. I haven’t seen many galleries take this step but I hope more do in the future. Best regards, ~ melisssa

Hi Alyson, Just wanted you to know that after being inspired by Brenda’s example, I am currently hosting my own virtual reception for my art-to-wear hats. Thanks for circulating this great idea!
