Art Speaks, Project Space and More

A 2-1/2 week exhibit called "ART SPEAKS: Are You Listening?" turned into a two month interactive exhibit, and coordinating about 30 artists in a magnificent museum like setting was something, and gave me a new appreciation for gallery owners. Sales were good, the location was fantastic and the rent was better than excellent (donated by Salem's premier patron of arts and culture). This summer begins with PROJECT SPACE in downtown Salem. If I could figure out to do the easy link I would, but it is at saaprojectspace.org. Working as a studio artist in a 6000 square foot building, with several other wonderful artists. I feel privileged to be a part of this space. With a brief break I am going to a family reunion, and will return refreshed (yeah right) and eager to enjoy a warm summer with collaborative artists. We're also doing an art benefit for "the birds" in the gulf, more to come on that at the website referenced a few lines up there. Life is good, always good, today.
