Connecting Artists to the Community with Education, Therapy and Fun

 
 

Ugh, I hate nausea. We had so many fun things planned, but they're just postponed. I hope everyone else stays healthy!

I can't move around much or tolerate smells, so painting and other work like cleaning up/putting away after Peter Anderson is a no-go. Thinking is a no-go, too, coffee is kicking up that gag reflex. Oh joy...

BUT!!! Good news :) JANIS the chair sold this weekend in a silent auction to a wonderful couple from Gulfport. After Art therapy Thursday, we'll meet and do the trade. $43 is pretty good for a lady rescued out of the garbage!

Much love and good health, Linda

 
 

Whats going on at River fest? Everything is a work in progress, but here's a start~ if someone wants to develop something else or change this to a different thing- go ahead :)

Face painting- participants will help here and there throughout the day... and take donations. The funds will go to the Gulf Coast Women Center for Nonviolence and Art with Heart's supply fund. All volunteers will get a certificate mailed to them and their guidance counselors (or someone more appropriate if need be) saying that they helped an organization out of their good will and good hearts :) Of course, this'll getcha extra credit and certainly brownie points from Mom.

While we do that, there will be two canvases: one for kids to paint and one for adults/older children. Of course, some art supplies will be out for people to have fun trying out. We could do some demonstrations and show and tell back and forth if enough people get interested. Maybe we can get some folks to do impromptu lessons to the kids? Hey, maybe the kids will give some lessons, too.

Children's art, of course...

Maybe some live portraits? Someone into cartoons?

Moss Point Hi art students will be volunteering~ and we will be showing their art as well as the illustrious Ms. Denise Williams, art instructor at Moss Point High School.

All of this means that much is to be printed out (why art is important handouts) , free art class info and others. Not to mention getting the supplies, my art, my Mom's and Stephen's goodies set up for the show, too.

OH, Janis is almost finished and will be unveiled at Riverfest!!! She will be up for sale~ auction maybe? The project is: Chairs for Change. (It was chairs for charity, but that sounds funny.)

So, there's lots to do and lots to get going... whoo hoo!

Oh, we have mucho art supplies thanks to Donna Joseph from Moss Point Rec Center and boy, are we in business! So much to learn and so little time, it makes you want two or three lifetimes.
