“SPEAK FOR YOURSELF”   (this is going to be outstanding)

…a conversation with Dough McCulloh and Meg Linton
Why be an artist? What does it mean to live your life as an artist? How does one live inside art? An artist and a curator pull back the curtain on current art practice. Expect a lively evening of secrets and revelations, warnings and cautions, startling flashes and wild statements. Part talk, part free-for-all

Now do you understand why I am so tired??? Lots going on. The only way you will understand why I am so proud is if you see the show. The comments have been heartwarming it is really having an effect on people but it is an unusual show so you must see it to understand.

All is good… all of the time…sue
