Putting Together an Art Exhibition

[@patrick.artworks]

Can you image that in a small little town in some tropical corner of Brazil there's a person (me) being inspired by your art and your work as a content creator... just keep going!! You deserve all success and happiness in the world!! I loved the result of this exhibition!! Thank you for sharing your life with us!

[@thestaz8564]

so cOOL to see the behind the scenes! Framed prints looks so good!

[@b.cormier]

Thank you!! It was a lot of fun to film and edit :)

[@jenss.8706]

That was an experience! The paintings really work well together. The video was top notch too. Could almost see myself walking from frame to frame

[@Juststudiothings]

I so appreciate the recommendation for local printers and framers! Thanks Brooke - loving the print :)

[@b.cormier]

Yay! Happy to help and so glad to hear it :)

[@DouglasEarls]

Lovely lovely lovely!! One of the coolest things about your videos, your artwork, and the way you approach the creation of your art is that you do so with so much excellence! Everything from the art itself, to how you edit these videos. I really enjoyed this one! It made me dream. Thanks for sharing this process with us

[@cpoco]

Very cool! The behind the scenes of your work and the other businesses was fascinating. Well done!

[@erinloughery]

Looks awesome Brooke, excellent job! Kudos to you for going all out with your mushroom paintings, instead of getting discouraged by your initial lack of sales. They’re gorgeous 🩷 I love your videos, thank you for making them!

[@b.cormier]

Thanks a lot for watching Erin! I appreciate the support :)

[@janinafisher101]

Brooke! What an awesome experience. You learned a lot, got your community to know you - printers, framers, etc., and you now know how to do an art show. And I have to say that when I saw those small test samples you ran first, that I thought they would make absolutely beautiful cards, or even small prints for smaller spaces. Beautiful job. The cafe looks wonderful with your prints in it. You brought something special to the cafe, and it afforded you a special opportunity. Way to go! Proud of you. And so happy to hear that 3 of your remaining originals sold! Yahoo!

[@b.cormier]

Thank you so much Janina! I always appreciate your supportive comments!

[@flanzella]

Being an artist in the Toronto west end... I'm so happy to have some new recos of where to frame and print giclees! So happy you were able to sell some of your pieces 😊❤ they're wonderful

[@b.cormier]

Great! I'm glad you can put the recos to good use :) and thanks so much!

[@sonettedeetlefs8088]

Love your work!❤

[@mindofwatercolor]

So enlightening to watch this process! As a former commercial illustrator I'm a bit lost in the fine art "exhibition" world. Well-done and entertaining vlog. Thanks.

[@b.cormier]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

[@erinkelleher7414]

The final prints were just stunning!!! Wish I could have seen the show in person. Also those cookies ..... 🤤

[@1miguelemacedo681]

I got nervous too, ... I saw you in my place and watched the video until the end hoping that your work and that of those who supported you had been successful, I'm glad it was like that. CONGRATULATIONS 🌹

[@cyborgzulu2011]

Love your content and work. Thanks for sharing. I'm an artist now from watching a video of yours years ago. Thanks you!

[@b.cormier]

Thank you so much! That really means a lot 💛

[@alessiapodgorica1260]

It has been a while since I discovered your channel, I just love it, all what you say about running a small business as an artist is seriously inspiring me to search more and go further. Keep going and congratulations on your exhibition!

[@paul_domici]

Everything is so beautiful!!! In NY we only get a little wine : ) So nice of you to make all this food!

[@b.cormier]

Haha wine would also be nice ;) Thanks for watching!!

[@mauricioescalanteart8185]

I liked the tone of the video, a small documentary about the assembly of an exhibition, quite dynamic. I see the love that you put into your work and the search to deliver the best quality possible. These are things that we must do in any field.

[@b.cormier]

Thanks a lot; it definitely takes a lot of hard work to put something like this together so I appreciate it when that work is acknowledged! 🙏

[@ChantelleArts]

glad to see the event went well, the space looks lovely 🥰

[@b.cormier]

Thanks Chantelle! :)

[@CarmenFlores-p2h]

Loved this video, best of luck in your career as an artist and jewelry maker. The paintings are beautiful and the earrings too.

[@b.cormier]

Thank you! I appreciate it 😊

[@BrookeCutler-iz9qv]

Ha ha ha! You’re such a legend, Brooke. Great Job. The exhibition looked SUPER profesh. Go you! xx ❤

[@b.cormier]

Thanks Brooke!! 🫶

[@malikab3258]

Great experience! You are doing good, in the right path. Keep going, each video and action is a step to the best ✨️ (You are very inspiring)

[@b.cormier]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate that 🙏

[@Gypsy-lq1xh]

Wow…. So beautiful & perfect how everything turned out… this mushroom abstract series is SO COOL !!!! I love your art… one day soon I would love to buy a print 🍄

[@b.cormier]

Thank you so much! I appreciate your interest and the prints are ready when you are! :)

[@rakutempo]

This video is joyful AND informative 😊 Thankyou for sharing everything in such detail. You allowed those of us a little further behind you to get a really truthful look at what achieving our aims might look like. Thanks for that 🎉👍

[@b.cormier]

Thank you! I’m glad that you liked it 🫶

[@simoM2425]

Congratulations! You are too cute! Beautiful work and the cookies mouthwatering! 💗

[@b.cormier]

Thank you so much! 🤗 my fav cookie recipes hehe

[@jf5336]

So cool to watch this. My print is making its way to me...slowly...I think I will receive it later this week. Watching the framing gave me many points to consider when I frame; I was going to make my own, but now I will get a professional involved. Cool vlog, many thanks!

[@b.cormier]

Thank you!! Hope you love your print! Making your own frame would be really cool - I'm sure you could purchase acid-free materials and UV protected glass if you were keen! But leaving it to the professionals is never a bad idea haha

[@NinaStibernik]

Brooke, thanks for sharing the behind the scenes of this exhibition. Your videos and art are always so well-made and inspiring ♥️✨ Just a quick heads-up though - mentioning that all the businesses you work with are super close might give away too much about your location. With so many online followers it might be safer to keep that info a bit more general. Stay safe and keep up the amazing work! 😊🖌️🍄

[@b.cormier]

Thanks a lot Nina, I appreciate it! And yes I also considered this, but thanks for the heads up :)

[@beckymacdonald7872]

I love all your videos and your art so much and you are so gorgeous! 💌💗

[@bobmarone6192]

Excellent video showing everything that goes into setting up an exhibition! And I agree that although the paintings didn't sell initially, it was still a success. Looked like a lot of work but a whole lot of fun! ☺

[@b.cormier]

Thanks a lot Bob, I appreciate that!

[@remybles880]

Love it! Would you be able to create a video on the details of oiling out and varnishing?

[@elmernouille]

You're so great Brooke ! It's always so peacefull to watch your videos.

[@b.cormier]

That means a lot, thank you! 🙏

[@chrisiadraws]

Congratulations, Brooke! Everything from the printing to the cookies looks amazing, inspiring and so, so beautiful!

[@b.cormier]

Thank you! 🫶

[@vt4979]

This video is soooooooooooo helpful and informational, especially for someone who lives in Toronto. Thank you so much and BIG congrats on your successful exhibition!!

[@b.cormier]

Yay! I'm very happy to hear that and thank you so much!

[@philippawood5047]

You inspired me to pick up my brushes again. I am by no means at your level, but you really sparked my creativity again. I started a new painting today so was so lovely to see this pop up on my feed and see where art can take you. :)

[@b.cormier]

I love hearing that! All the best with your painting! :)

[@AidenTaylorOfficial]

Brooke, congratulations! I am so inspired by your video! Amazing work, and cinematography! So happy to have stumbled across your channel

[@b.cormier]

Thanks so much Aiden! I appreciate it :)

[@louisebraille8015]

Vidéo très réussie et merci pour tout ce travail de présentation de préparation de votre exposition (de France).

[@b.cormier]

Merci!! 🫶

[@kathleen8092]

Ernesto is awesome!! Great video! Love your editing.

[@b.cormier]

Yes he is! And thank you, I appreciate it ☺️

[@alokasiablackmagic3444]

Congrats! Cool exhibition, and I really love this series of yours, I think this is more art than what you did previously!

[@b.cormier]

Thank you! Happy to hear you like the work 🙏

[@The_Truck_Photo_Agency]

Really enjoying the vids and the journey. I’m on the photography side of the ledger and seeing your vids along with many other contributors help me hone my skills. Thank you!

[@b.cormier]

That's really nice to hear, thank you so much an all best on your own journey!

[@alessandramello9372]

Your work is amazing . Thanks for sharing

[@magicalpatterns]

Girl, this is at another level. I want one of your pieces so bad 💎

[@b.cormier]

❤️✨!!

[@kevinjszuch]

That was very fun getting to see a look into the process! Your series framed looks so professional!

[@b.cormier]

Thanks so much Kevin! :)

[@Skippie2]

What a fun process 🎉

[@drawrobot]

Happy to hear you sold three pieces of these. I’m thinking of doing some slightly larger prints myself and framing a couple of them. Might actually buy some matte cutting gear.

[@b.cormier]

Thank you! And that's a great idea, I would too if I had more space haha

[@andysdestination8671]

That’s so Awesome on your art exhibition! You and your friends did a great job setting it up your art works. To me it will be my next dream to have my first Art exhibition someday. Love your video. Congrats. Cheers 😎😎😎🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️

[@b.cormier]

Thanks a lot! And all the best to you with your future exhibition ✌️

[@bestyoutubeuser]

Thank you so much for showing us this incredible process! It was so informing and inspiring. The idea of one day doing this makes my heart so full of happiness. I pray for your continued success 💕

[@b.cormier]

That’s so sweet, thank you very much! 🙏

Brooke, the exhibition expert! Proud of you friend. Keep bringing your stuff IRL!

[@b.cormier]

Perhaps not an expert, but maybe one day! Haha, thanks for watching!

[@magnifisquish]

You are truly inspiring, just be being you. Thanks for sharing, as always :) Much love from a fellow painter

[@b.cormier]

That means a lot, thank you! 🥹

[@trentriver]

Brilliant!

[@andreatorraca8755]

Lovely style❤

Thank you!

[@carolineschlunke]

Wow your new collection is amazing ❤

[@b.cormier]

Thank you so much! 🥰

[@samy_loewe]

Very interesting 🤩

[@laurenvonduyke-dadmun9928]

Good for you! The exhibition looks wonderful!

[@b.cormier]

Thank you so much! :)

[@ArtbyPatrickPetruccello]

Cobgrats and great video. The prints look terrific.

[@b.cormier]

Thank you! Glad you think so ☺️

[@AnggiSahamCantik]

Thank you for making this video 😊 congrats for the art exhibition 🎉

[@b.cormier]

Thanks so much! 🤗

[@fuzzydragons]

all of that framing gear would have come in so handy at uni, and the prints looks great in that frame 😀 the exhibition looked great and you can never go wrong with homemade chocolate chip cookies

[@b.cormier]

Haha amen about the cookies! Thanks a lot for watching ☺️

[@analogemma]

As a framer in my past its always fun to see videos that include the process!

[@b.cormier]

A very important job! ✨

[@lucysmith7658]

Congratulations! Such a lovely exhibition 😁

[@b.cormier]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@mateuszfeliksik]

Congratulations Brooke!

[@b.cormier]

Thank you Mateus! 🤗

[@DaveJacobseniOS]

Great look into the exhibition process! Thanks for sharing ✌

[@b.cormier]

Thanks for watching! 🙏

[@tyang3320]

Congratulations on the exhibition! Would you mind sharing the costs of printing and framing? (I’ve been researching printing and framing in my area for a group show.)

[@vaughnylo]

I love this! Thank you for sharing!

[@b.cormier]

Thank you for watching! 🤗

[@woutervansoest1087]

I would advice you , to try framing your best work in more expensive frames, a good frame can really make the difference.!

[@thebeagio]

I hope one day we meet face to face. I admire the creations of your mind.

[@MW-hn7wx]

Congratulations!

[@b.cormier]

Thank you!

[@bluedymeri]

that's so cool! i'd like to have an experience like that someday 😍

[@b.cormier]

Thank you! Lot's of work but well worth it! :)

[@ArtByStepho]

You are so inspirational.

[@b.cormier]

Thank you so much 🥹

[@MW-hn7wx]

This video was way more interesting than I expected, and I expected a good video.

[@b.cormier]

Haha, well I appreciate that!

[@colorfiktion]

Your videos are my fuel!🤍

[@b.cormier]

Your comment is my fuel!!🤗

[@JessicaJaneCo]

Love this! You’re work is super inspiring 😊 I’ve just started my first KZbin channel and love watching yours ❤

[@b.cormier]

So happy to hear that! 🤗 good luck with your channel, that’s awesome!

[@russellgibbon8621]

Class.

[@NikaCole-p1w]

i have never been so proud and happy for a stranger ❤ keep on shinning and insipiring artist like me ❤🎉

[@b.cormier]

Thank you so much, that is so sweet 🥹 ❤️

[@XentricMi]

Well done! very inspiring...but I was thinking why print 10 copies , you can print on demand instead, like print one copy then print more only when people buy

[@EricMoore790]

She is really pretty and talented.

[@KolbWorkshop]

Very cool, Custom frames are so pricey!! Why do you sign in pencil? I've seen that before, but why not something pertinent?

[@b.cormier]

Thanks! And yes, pricey indeed - but worth it! Fine art prints should be signed in pencil to avoid fraud (it’s much easier to replicate an ink signature than a pencil)!

[@jackal_bmc]

Congratulations 🎉

[@b.cormier]

Thank you! 🤗

[@simonkunju]

Hello Brook, I live in Kitchener.. I missed this one, I would love to see this though. Would you announce the date and time of your exhibition beforehand on KZbin. Also would like to know on which camera do you shoot the videos

[@b.cormier]

Hi Simon, thanks for your interest and sorry you missed the show! I’m usually best at keeping everyone up to date with events on my Instagram (instagram.com/brookecormier/) but I will keep that in mind in the future and make sure I’m spreading the news here on KZbin as well! As for filming equipment, all details are in the video description 😊

[@simonkunju]

@@b.cormier Thank you Brook. I love your art

[@kashaestuesday]

this is so inspiring!! 💕are the prints sold individually on your website? i only see quanities of 10+! would love to snag one as soon as im able!!

[@b.cormier]

Thanks so much! 🤗 I sell the prints individually; “10 print limited edition” just means that I am only making 10 prints of each painting in the series! Number 1/10 in each edition is framed (so they’re a bit more expensive) but numbers 2 through 10/10 are unframed and I’m selling them for $220 (Canadian dollars) each! Hope that clears things up and thanks so much for your interest! ☺️

[@ghoulape6976]

How did you go about getting the word out for your show ?

[@MBird-ld6uv]

I think I see "answer in progress" (Some other youtubers) in the background at the exhibit! That's funny.

[@b.cormier]

Yes Melissa and Sabrina came to the opening, they’re awesome!

[@desinichelle]

I really want to hear the story of Goose Girl so that gets my vote!

[@CheHojas]

Your show looked amazing! I really hope you sell them all. It’s really nerve-racking to invest without knowing how it will turn out.

[@b.cormier]

Thanks, I really appreciate that! So far I’ve sold half of the prints so I think I’m off to a good start 🙏

[@CheHojas]

@@b.cormier definitely a great start! happy for you!

[@lindahossien9954]

It's amazing how you can forge a failure (or rather something you consider a failure) into something valuable and precious for others (i'm reffering to your other video about failure)

[@b.cormier]

Thanks Linda, I appreciate that! 🙏

[@JoshuaArctic]

Commission work suits you more cuz you more like designer

[@tobyncummins]

10 limited prints is a great number, I see all these 50 and 100 editions out there and it just feels insidiously wrong.

[@b.cormier]

I’ve done larger limited editions in the past but have some to realize that I like the smaller ones! It just felt right for this series!

[@magicalpatterns]

Please sell prints 💎💎💎💎🎨🎨🎨🎨

[@b.cormier]

I actually do sell prints on my website! 🤗 you can find them here: www.brookecormier.com
