An Artist Reception- Looking Forward

I am looking forward to my first honorary artist reception, to be held tomorrow. I and three other African-American artists will be featured at the Hattiesburg Cultural Center in downtown Hattiesburg, MS. I think it's going to be a treat! The other featured artists at the reception will be Tamara Hinton, Al Branch and George Fairley.
When I took my paintings to the gallery where our work will be displayed, I caught a "glance" of the other artist's work. However, I made it a point not to really look at them. Why? Because, like everyone else who will be attending, I want something to look forward to. Looking at their works before the reception would be equivalent to looking at a movie and then inviting my friends over to look at it with me, again. They would be excited- I wouldn't.
Therefore, tomorrow, I LOOK FORWARD. And I imagine that the other featured artists do, as well.
