Just imagine, you’ll have enough energy left over the night of the opening… you might actually be able to  sit back and enjoy the process!  Kristin walks us through how she starts planning months in advance, gets student committees responsible for the majority of the work, and then delegates like a boss to execute the whole big thematic art show. You'll especially enjoy seeing how this process ties in with the new NCCAS.  Tons of great tips in this one!  Get into it!
