We noticed that the gallery representative, dressed in a white shirt, was constantly staring at us with a deadpan expression. It felt like we were not welcomed there and were being monitored.
We understand that we are students and cannot afford to buy these collectables and artwork, but we expected more courtesy from the staff. The strange behavior made us uncomfortable and we decided to leave the gallery.
As an aspiring artists , we know how to handle artworks and exhibitions. We were not there to harm the gallery or anything else. We were both hurt by this incident and would like the authorities to look into this matter.
Explaining I had a hearing impairment and requesting a visit the gallery helped with the visit , turning the music down si I'd be able to understand when we talked was very simple , but incredibly helpful.
Allison the galkery director was top notch as was the young land who greeted us.
Allison chatted and talked about the art we found and made everything really easy.
It was a great experience and since our visit Allison has been in touch to help with further purchases
