Art opening etiquette

Art opening etiquette:

Don’t block others’ view of the artwork.

Don’t just congratulate the artist. Say something meaningful.

Look at the exhibit before you consume alcohol and eat snacks.

Don’t form chit-chat clusters that block the flow of the exhibit.

Give the work in the exhibit some thoughtful time.

If you only came for the food, drink and socializing, go to the exhibit again later.

If you are the artist, be pro-active in helping people engage the art.

Think of the opening as an aesthetic experience not a social experience.
