We had a pretty big crowd at ArtReach last night, we even had a few new friends show up. I even had to go and borrow chairs from the neighbors! All I can say is that it was a great vibe; people making new friends, helping each other, laughing, learning and creating. If life is a baked potato; last night was the butter, sour cream and bacon bits.
What is it about art that creates this environment? I have my ideas but would love to hear from you, so leave some posts here for others to read.
What’s your favorite thing(s) about ArtReach? I would love to hear that as well.
As we continue to grow it may be necessary to add another time slot or we could lengthen the time ArtReach is open to allow more people to come and go, which means we need some volunteers to put down their brushes and serve others during ArtReach. What do you think? (“ArtReach Volunteer” looks great on a resume btw).
I am heading off to NY this week to attend the Encounter Conference in Manhattan.
Encounter 09 | Art in Action is International Arts Movement’s annual gathering of artists and creative catalysts to wrestle with the deep questions of art, faith and humanity, to inspire the creative community to engage with the culture that is, and to create the world that ought to be.
To say I am excited is a severe understatment. Check out the link above to see why.
Peace to you.
