Volume 3 Gallery
(November 12, 2022)
The Awakening’s First Gallery.
Another amazing milestone and learning experience that couldn’t have been made possible without the AB over at All Kinds Studio. We want to wish AB our biggest thank you. All Kinds Studios were opened and welcomed to any of our ideas. They even let us paint all the walls white. A multi day process that was totally worth it.
With freshly painted white walls, it was time to hang the pieces. Thankfully, some of the team have hung up work before, so it made that process a breeze. However, curation of the show was a different story. It came down to the wire. The team looks back at these moments with such a light heart laugh, but we definitely were cutting it short. Changing into our show outfits right before opening.
Another huge shout out was the artist from volume 3 that allowed us to showcase their works. and they are as followed: Name Name,
There was something brewing in the background, but we couldn’t name it. We were finding ourselves in the art world, without understanding its rational. Even now I understand the steps and measures that lead us to this point, but the greater context is still yet to be unraveled.
Overall, this gallery was a magical experience. Thank you to all the people that showed up and supported not only us but the amazing artist of the night. Y’all let us fly higher with new found confidence and ideas.
Oh yeah! Almost forgot about some of the events prior to the gallery. We had this “rogue” table set up at the Oxnard Harbor’s park, its more of some grass with benches. We had boards people could paint on, the birth of a new idea that we would expand on, and refreshments so we could celebrate volume 3’s release. We almost got shut down becuase we didn’t have a permit. But the security guy was cool once we told him it was a birthday party. Which it short of was. Either way, the magazine’s early steps at bridging the digital and physical gap. Something we still believe we can improve on.
BTW, we are still trying to uncover photos from this night. If you have any, please send it over to us at magazinetheawakening@gmail.com or DM on instragram.
