I got accepted to two gallery shows that are running at the same time. This is my first time actually showing in a place that isn't attached to my school. First and foremost, I told one gallery I would be submitting work's number 1, 2, and 3, but the other gallery wants work number 3, if that makes any sense. Should I alert the gallery before dropping off my work that I'll be one piece short? Secondly, is it a huge faux pas to miss the opening reception? For one of the shows I'll be out of town and wont be able to make the reception. I was also curious about things like business cards, artist statements, etc. The galleries would have asked me for those things, right? Should I just carry my business cards with me during the opening? Do I even need them? I'm so overwhelmed. It feels so weird showing with real artists.

SynthOrange posted:Yes, you should tell them as soon as possible. Thanks, I dropped them a quick line. I didn't expect to get accepted to both shows at once, to be honest. In college they also said to make postcards for shows. Should I do this too or are business cards just fine? I need to update my business cards...

So, one of the galleries wants "not more than two pages with a concise biography, artist's statement and list of your major exhibitions". What the hell does a "concise biography" entail? What do they want from me? I'm confused

Is there any benefit from going to a gallery opening of yours besides the free food? Also, can I wear whatever I want?

This is probably a stupid question. I studied textiles and fibers in college and I'm looking at some related positions. I have a lot of experience with textile design but no actual portfolio of designs, just a couple of left-over finished products. I'm not sure the best way to go about building my portfolio up. Personally, I always did initial designs with gouache and didn't use the computer too much, which I know isn't the popular way to do things anymore. Is it worth getting all the initial designs made into samples? I didn't have any intentions of going into textile design in college, so I'm pretty unfamiliar with the portfolio process.

Ummm so apparently I applied to a show a couple of months ago, got accepted, and can't afford to pay for the registration fee and to ship my work. Is there a polite or appropriate way to tell the gallery this?

Has anyone here ever applied for an artist residency before? Any comments on the process?
