Opening for Gallery at 85 Main called by many "The Opening of the Year"

Well the title of the post rather sums it up, I guess. The opening at Gallery at 85 Main was "an overwhelming success." 175-200 people attended the opening on Thursday August 24. We enjoyed great art, perfect weather, fabulous company and we are looking forward to many new opportunities. Attendees came from NYC, Massachusetts and all over Connecticut. The phones still haven't stopped ringing and the emails are plentiful.

Here's some of the feedback we've been receiving:
"Extraordinary event"
"It was the opening reception of the year."
"I had a great time obviously, I just couldn't leave."
"A great location for artists to gather and share ideas."
"I met quite a few very interesting people and am reading emails already this morning from some."
"The best opening I've ever been to."
"The Opening Reception was incredible! Great atmosphere, great company, great artwork, great weather. PERFECT!"
"Fantastic space to show art."

Nice Things People Say

On Writing
"I believe the success of your INK article is your ability to listen, intellectually collaborate and to make difficult ideas understandable to the public." Sculptor Gilbert Boro
Art On Groton Bank
"I am very impressed with the work Lisa has done for us in this short time. She has a light touch, very appealing and attractive, plus real style." Audrey Heard
David Black regarding an INK feature arts article:
"I was just handed the most incredible magazine article that I think has ever been written about me. It is just fantastic and people are presenting me with copies of the magazine. Really beautifully written, really beautifully written and no one has ever put all the pieces together as nicely as you have. Thank you so much."
Re: Article on Slater Museum
"Ok, Don't stand in a doorway when you read this as you may become hopelessly lodged... Hang on to your head, an ego boost attached... I love it Lisa. Spot on nicely done, access-able, significant and of a standard. I'm stoked, can't thank you enough, very happy and impressed." Jeff Lilly - INK Publishing
Designers Who Blog Says:
"The Art and Design is written in a easy manner, centred on the design community, and points to discussions I can use...It’s my kind of blog as it keeps on giving."

Cat Morely, "I enjoy your writing and will be checking back with ArtLOOK to keep up what you come up with next. I so envy those who can write well."
The Art Guide
"I am glad you are a perfectionist- You have given us a world-class site that will be an asset to The Guide as we move forward and expand." Matt Holmes, The Art Guide
Artist Julia Rogoff
"I found Lisa Mikulski to be just the right resource at the right time: focused, professional, with a great eye for color and design, and with very fast turnaround time for getting images up on the web -- an artist's best friend and there when you need her! She's got a really good command of the two worlds we as artists now inhabit: the technical issues of cyberspace in today's market, combined with bottom line issues of artistic judgement. I highly recommend her as a great resource for web design, artistic and gallery management."
