A flurry getting ready is going on in Chris writing-and-art-land. Charlotte Art League is being slowly but sure-handidly resurrected. I am among a handful of artists with studios in the current space who have hung in and waited out the patient process of reassembling the organization. The upshot is, I will be moving my studio into new space in the same building. We'll still be there, just in a smaller footprint. I'm going to continue to have my workspace/display space. I'll continue to be a volunteer on the gallery committee. And the next few weeks will entail all of that moving, reorganizing, etc. New monthly shows in the public gallery space will commence this summer. Calls to Artists for their work will begin again soon. You'll be invited to show openings in the near future and have the opportunity to see some of my new work. YAY!
Hopefully, I'll have this all sorted in time for a vacation and wedding up in Michigan. I'll pack up the paints and the writing notebook for that. Expect the relocated gallery and studio space to have lots of new stuff in it as a result. And it's time for the next poetry book to be shaped. Here's my tentative title: Poetry Isn't Memoir: Come At Me. What do you think?
