My experience of hosting an Artists Open House for first time- one week in.

Once the decision had been made, registration completed, it was all systems go. Final touches made to the eight small paintings chosen to exhibit and then a moment of panic when I felt more paintings were needed! Luckily I had another four in progress and another three half completed canvas with similar theme. Was a bit nervous about ruining them with a deadline looming, but apart from a few minor hiccoughs managed to complete. Lesson to self - next time have enough work completed before deciding to have an Open House!
