Well, now that the Heritage Open Days exhibition, the Material Worlds of Jane Austen, had passed relatively smoothly into history, I may allow myself to breathe a sigh of relief! I was gratified with such a turn out - and to meet so many interesting people, with whom it was a pleasure to speak. I very much enjoyed both preparations for the event, and the occasion.
The artist currently in residence at the Academy was unable to capture an image of the event (numbers precluding such an endeavour), though he intends to produce an illustrative record of the displays that might be accessed in that magical realm I believe to be known as the 'world wide web'.
If any visitors did themselves make a visual record of the event, I would most appreciate copies!
Much encouraged by responses received, I shall continue with my plans to hold Halloween and Christmas events, at which I very much hope to meet again visitors to the exhibition. I will provide further information and updates through the usual channels: this ephemeral medium (through the blog and dedicated pages); Twitter; and Facebook; as well as posters and leaflets, as soon as I am able to confirm plans.
Many thanks to those who supported and attended the exhibition.
