Curating the ArtAtSteemfest Space in Lisboa!!!!steemCreated with Sketch.

in steemfest2 •  7 years ago 

We have a great space in Lisboa for sharing the amazing works of art from the Steemians around the world.


The rustic cement walls at the LX Factory are the perfect backdrop for the nearly 140 images that will be exhibited for the Steemians at Steemfest, and for the public of Lisbon as well.


YES IT IS TRUE---WE ARE EXHIBITING THEM ALL!!!!



We started with a blank slate in this creative space and are transforming it into one big work of art.



@roelandp printed ALL of the submissions that came from individual artists AND the initiatives.  So if you submitted your work--it's going up on these walls!!!



We spread out all 138 images and just marveled in their magnificence.



OMG!!!!  What a spread of truly inspired creation!!



@saramiller and @opheliafu helped to label all of the images and arrange them into groupings for display.




Just look at all these artists who are represented here!!




We collaborated together to get all the images on the walls.



@lifemovedbysteem got into the action by helping to put the lights together.



@roelandp and @quinneaker gave light to the space.



We fine tuned our presentation.



And got some nailing help from @prc.



We will have a sweet triple television projection of the Collaborative Art Journey video, and potentially a wall projection as well.



The exhibit will be open throughout the rest of the week.  Our prime time will be Saturday and Sunday in the space, where we will have workshops, collaborative art projects, yoga, acoustic music improv, and anything else that inspires us.


I have lots of photos of this space to share.  
Tune in and see your art or your friend's art in this exhibition.  
People are really enjoying it already!!!


 A huge thanks to @roelandp for all of the powerful effort he has given to Steemfest, and for making this an epic experience for us all.  He thinks of every detail and puts it into action, and we are all benefitting from his abilities.    It is already unfolding to be an even more powerful gathering than last year---OMG!  No doubt there is so much more in store.


THE FUN HAS ALREADY BEGUN!!! WE WILL BRING IT TO YOU!!

Setting up the art gallery was so much fun!

Agreed!!!! I imagine the possibilities for a real soft and cushy hang-out space, a more focused open mic, food, drinks and lots more ART!!

Yea for next year?

yeah.....that's my dream anyway!!!

<3 <3 I see it!!!!! I see it!!!! OMG I´m so excited!!! there it´s true totally true

It is it is it is!!! And well deserved indeed @yusaymon. So glad you're with us.

thank you dear @everlove

My pleasure dear @yusaymon!

Hope all you have there have one coming #beautifulsunday ;-)

We have day and night pictures of yours to share!!! This weekend it shall be!!

Have a good weekend, all and a #beautifulsunday.

Looks fantastic. I am investing in better photos so I can exhibit in the future. Thanks

Great advice for us all!

I saw my art in the collection!! Woohoo! Thanks!

YAY!!!!!! We've have made an incredible collection together and I'm super grateful that you were a part of it. Thank you @rubenalexander!

what a wonderful collection! i hope someone can put together a video of all the entries, or at least a few posts, so we can see all of the talented artists presented at steemfest.

I have put together with @kimberleighfl a video of the CAJ. Excited to share it and perhaps there will be more to come.

Incredible and wonderful work, great team to manage this whole project, many congratulations and successes, successes.

Sweet perfection!

Excellent .... I tried to get my work in there.... but they needed 4000 pixels or something ??? maybe next year.

The resolution was a bit of a challenge for a lot of people. Most of the images came out pretty well. The work is amazing!

What kind of camera do I need for 4000 pixels ?

I wish I knew. I'm not really savvy about these things, but next year perhaps we will be able to give/get more input on how to make that happen. It seems like a sticking point for a lot of people.

its usually a proper camera(dslr) that can take the photo in raw format.

Thanks for putting all of the effort into curating this art space! My friends from #teammalaysia showed me my photo!

GREAT!!!! It's a really great collection. What an amazing community of artists we are!!! So glad you're a part of it @howtostartablog.

that looks fantastic @everlove!

It's going to be even better when we get the Steemians, some live jam sound, yoga, laughter and hugs!!

Wow @everlove this is truly Amazing! I saw @quinneaker’s post too!! You all are doing some awesome work and I thank each of you for your efforts in making this Art Gallery Amazing! I am so thrilled to see my artwork in one of your photos...it’s like I’m there but miles away!!! 😃😃 Thank you again for this opportunity! I hope I get to see all of the needlework art photos on the walls!! 😆😆😆

There are some truly amazing needlework pieces. Your contributions truly added another dimension to this exhibit. Thanks for sharing your passions.

Yay that makes me so glad to hear!!!! It was our pleasure, we were all thrilled to be apart of this!!! Thanks again! 😊

This is fantastic!

That's the spirit in steemit community...tks

Primo opportunity. Grateful we are engaging it.

It's awesome to be celebrated! Thanks for being, @kenhudoy!

OMG, this is amazing. Can't believe how much work went into this. Looks like quite an investment too, with all the printouts and lights and all. A big thank you for the effort and dedication of everyone involved! 👏

There has been great support for this art exhibit through Steemit. Not only have the funds been available to curate it with all the necessary expenses, but the energy put into it and the appreciation for it is really astounding. Thanks for witnessing @reinhard-schmid. I appreciate your comment.

Thank you for your kind answer. Although I'm an artist by profession, I have organized numerous exhibitions with artists from all over the world, I know what it takes!

I wish I could have been there, helping to set it all up and meeting interesting people. Oh well, maybe next time..

Wishing you lots of visitors for the show!

If this year is any indication of what's to come, next year will be even more astounding! We will have plenty of time to prepare ourselves for our new opportunity. I hope you get to experience it @reinhard-schmid.

Are there any plans of where its going to be?

Not to my knowledge. We are simply immersing ourselves here fully right here, right now!!

Such a great initiative. Wish we could be there too. Enjoy ;)

Know that another chance will likely appear next year. Get ready @amy-goodrich.

Hehe... I'm sure more chances to meet fellow steemians will pop up. Visiting Garden of Eden is also high on my list ;) Too bad that we live on the other side of the world.... enjoy the rest of the Steemfest ;)

Lisbon is really far away from us too!!! You never know what could happen---anything is possible!!! May your wish list come true someday.

THANK YOU to all of you for your incredible work with this exhibit!!! @meanmommy33 called me via facetime today and gave me a glimpse of the show and it really looks fantastic. Must been a huge job to accomplish thank you thank you!!

And I got to see your shining face today!!!!! Ahhhhhhhh----we are blessed on so many levels. Grateful for your presence @natureofbeing.

And I for yours :-)!! Although it was brief and a bit awkward to be on facetime in a group enjoying each other in real time, I appreciated it anyway! There is a power and familiarity with feeling someone's energy in action. Great to meet you sweet woman!

Back at you @natureofbeing. We're so blessed to carry you with us! <3

Wowww! soo many cool pieces! I wish I could see it in real life :D

I wish you could too---but even more amazing than that, is feeling it!!!

if you find my images on the wall,, could you take a photo for me? I'd love to see how it ended up! :)
Thank you!

No promises, about your individual piece, as there are 140 or so of them and have had several requests already. But....I have taken all of the images in group shots, I hope to be sharing real sooooon! <3

haha I understand! Awesome though! Looking forward to it! :) Thanks!

Thx for this post. Nice to see how you build it.. what do you think of my daughters creation Isa (12) the slider.

The slider is really so very clever! We put it near the entrance so it would be seen right away. What a blessing to haver her piece here with ours.

Thank you so much for your reply. I hoped for some more pictures but I am happy that it was there and also Isa was happy. THX

Everywhere we turn is another picture---literally!!! I'm sure many more will come out of Steemfest. Glad you're enjoying the inclusion @rival.
