30/04: Art News
Hi Everyone! Just a few notes on what has been happening in my artworld for the past few months.
Riverside Art Center, located at 9 West Auglaize St. in Wapakoneta, has had a good start! They have receiving their 501c3 and have been awarded a grant from the Ohio Arts Council. RAC members are painting and doing some general fix up so they may open the gallery to display member artwork throughout the months of May and June of 2007. I am proud to have been a part of the planning and conseption of the new center. But, I have had to leave the board and join the ranks of the general membership. I've had some health issues and time limits that forced me to take a back seat. The good news is that now, I will have more time for designing and enjoying my artwork more. I really need to be on the helping end, instead of the planning end at Riverside, so I will help on committees from time to time.
I didn't realize that working on the tiny details of the by-laws and writing grants could be so time consuming and a big drain on creative energies. I'm afraid my poor little brain had a spasm equal to cardiac arrest! That's why I hadn't added much to the site in several months. But, I am determined to put something in the blog and something new in the site on a weekly basis, beginning in May 2007. I hope you will tell your artsy friends that I am back and will add new packets, new products, and artwork for sale during the next several months.
I want to thank God for his love and blessings in my life. I also want to thank my friends for their prayers, support, and advice during the past several months: Vera Collier, Karen Hamilton, Cindy Dietz, Rodney Ann Bensman, and Cindy Vitale. Thanks for putting up with me...letting me ramble and bend your ears, more that a time or two. You are the best friends anyone could have!
