    Complete Visions For The Future

    The last two months had been a whirlwind and once again Elarys doubted she had got much sleep. She remembered at university how a few people thought that internships were more stressful than actual jobs. She had no idea where they got this warped belief. She had always given her everything especially as she had been lucky to have positions that aligned with her passion for education, arts, and nonprofits that furthered imperial culture.

    The selection process of the three artists in residence with the Museum of Fine Arts on Imperial Center had been a challenge, bringing in multiple experts to weed through the all very talented candidates. Curator Ekat Trosnan had been difficult to work with on multiple occasions; but she had soldiered through it and had eventually earned his respect, and managed to win him over for one of the finalists. The artist hadn't been selected as one of the residents but it was nevertheless opening new opportunities for them, and Elarys was glad.

    She wasn't an art expert but had nevertheless been learning a lot during her time with the nonprofit Neran's who financed the three residencies. She was curious to see what next project she would work on for them; but before she closed this chapter for the time being - as someone else would stay in touch with the resident in the upcoming year and monitor their progress, she still had to be present for most events during the opening week of the residency.

    A section of contemporary art had been set up for the three residents: Kelitan Vorak, an architect from Cirrus, Laya Morin, a digital painter from Salin, and Crossa Ferl, a fashion designer from Tibro. They would add to their work in the upcoming months, but the opening gala and various talks and smaller events in the opening week showcased pieces they had used in their portfolio to earn their residencies.

    Tonight was the opening reception, and she was hoping that everything would unfold as smoothly as possible. The curator had been extremely fussy in the past few days and she had had to diffuse tension with several of the museum employees who had been doing a stellar job in getting everything ready. The artists themselves had felt like a handful, except for Morin who had taken everything in stride and been a gem to work with.

    After having made sure of a last few details behind the scenes, Elarys was finally able to step among the guests, and was able to take in the setup as they experienced it. She felt a little uncertain about the vibrant flowy dress Shana had insisted on gifting her for the event. The young professional would have been happy with a more discreet outfit but Shana had been adamant about spoiling her.

    She exchanged a few words with the some members of the Museum administrators, and kept herself in check from not looking around in hope that a certain person may show up. It was a long shot; but she couldn't help it. She was still surprised they had stayed in contact after the educational fundraiser a few months ago. Meeting her and getting to see her passion for the imperial youth had been one of the best parts of the event.
