Art All Night 2023 Preview

During the 2023 Art All Night show, we planned to have an online presence featuring an interactive preview of each artist’s work, more information about the artists, and ways to contact them. Unfortunately, a glitch during the signup process prevented us from recording this information and the images of the artwork.

Rather than disappointing virtual attendees, we adapted quickly. We added trial plugins to boost social media activity on the live site. My cousin and I then spent the next hour or two recording as much as we could with our phones. After downloading the content, we frantically pieced together a video to create a pseudo “live” show.

Despite the challenges, the virtual show was widely accepted. Online viewers, artists and the volunteering committee all appreciated the effort to showcase the artists’ work in such an unexpected way. The quick adaptation and creative solution turned a potential disappointment into a positive experience for everyone involved.
