Maker Faire 2015: Planning for Art Gallery
Contents
Coordinator?
Max and Kevin are jointly building the art gallery.
Open Questions?
David and Jan have brought up the excellent point of what happens to stuff overnight. They're not really comfortable leaving items in the tent overnight due to the question of severe weather. However, if we (1) secure storage indoors in case of severe weather or (2) find a plan for storing stuff rapidly (such as plastic tubs) with which they're comfortable...they may be willing to allow outdoor display of 2 Frozen costumes on their own dummies. Note that Jan is still considering whether she wants an indoor booth for her business, and that would allow us the flexibility of indoor storage in case of poor weather.
Who?
Confirmed Displayers
The following people have confirmed they're willing to show:. However, all except Kevin need to be confirmed that they're comfortable for our plans for bad weather, or comfortable with the risk of bad weather without a plan.

Potential Displayers
The following people might be interested in showing, and should be contacted:
| Person | Item | Size | Display Needed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Greg Smith | Various wood items (how many? What sizes? Will Greg bring his own shelf, as last year?) | ?? | ?? |
| David Henry | Various wood turned items (some are good for displaying other small items) | TBD as THF has yet to confrim. | TBD |
| Lego | Various itty-bitty resin items | Less than 1" square | KDF: Arrange under-glass or in-box storage, or with-magnifier storage; these are too delicate to be handled. |
Notes:
- Ask Nate W. about glass/acrylic sandblasted.
- Ask David about spatulas
- Ask David about salt-and-pepper shakers
- Definitely plan for lots of small last-minute items
- David has a lead-pouring kit; the Metal Shop may also have same. Or build display plaques using welded metal.
To-Do List
- KF: Price out materials for 4' x 6.5' display walls (send mail to list requesting advice on best construction?) Locate truck for moving parts.
- KF: Take stock of what we have for glass-box or glassed-in storage for the 'do not touch' items.
- KF: Start checking used stores for old sheets, etc.
- KF: Check with Jamie on tablecloths.
- KF: Bring in plastic tubs, size against items. If we can get plastic tubs large enough, they may work for secure overnight/bad weather storage.
