Creating Art and Equitable Access to Local Creative Things
Wow! It's been over a year since I visited your in box!
Thanks for allowing me to take up this valuable space in your day.
In what feels like a perpetual holding pattern since March 2020, there hasn't been much new studio news to report. The last newsletter I sent in October 2020 included a lot about the Mission, projects, and goals of the studio. In case you missed it, you can find that here. If you did see it, you may remember that I had decided to take leave of social media at that time. However, that departure was postponed as COVID precautions seemed to warrant an effort to meet people where they are able to access the arts...On Line.
So, keeping an open mind, I resumed social media participation and as you might have guessed, during the last eleven-ish months; it eventually eroded most of my after-working-away-from-the-studio vertical time.
Though I did make time to post and share some Things on my blog and on patreon, I finally made the decision to leave FB for good so that I will have more vertical time for making the Things and connections that matter more. Now that I am wearing glasses to make art and read, my horizontal time is not as productive as it had become during the Art For Arachnoiditis Project. I still haven't figured out how to get the glasses to stay on while my head is in the face hole of my Ostrich Cot. So, time management has again become a more demanding, vertical entity than it was for a while.
This month I will be making more art4u. BUT,
Due to COVID, the Studio and Creative Wellness Garden are
still closed to the public.
Curbside scheduled pick-up service will resume in December 2021.
Studio Visits and Events are postponed with
the hope to resume those again in Spring 2022.
Patrons will find out about those first but,
public updates will be posted on my website HERE
November is Art Every Day Month
November is Art Every Day Month hosted by Leah Piken Kolidas
at Creative Every Day.
Subscribing patrons will get the early previews and the most art as
I join #aedm again this year.
But, a few of the posts will be free on my blog and
in my public activity feed on patreon.
It's free to Follow.
Just scroll down to find the "Follow" button below the Rewards options
when you go to the link to become a patron.
Art Every Day Month doesn't always mean an end "product" to sell. For me, it is inspiration to acknowledge a diverse assortment of Things that require my Creative Energy while I am surviving the Stuff.
While you are waiting,

my prior Art Every Day activities here:
In search of my a.w.o.l. Creative Spirit, I have been tapping into the creative flow at Woman Unleashed, following inspiration from Creative Alchemist, Sarah Greenman, ReWilding with Sabrina Lynn, looking forward to the new book by Sarah Love MCCoy, and revisiting and reading some new Things by Visionary Creators who help me focus.

Out of consideration for the possibility that I may be evolving into one who is too attached to her solitude, I've also been reading, "The Art of Gathering; How we Meet and Why It Matters," by Priya Parker.
