Telophase v2.0

This morning I went to a community arts meeting about a 3rd floor space downtown. The owner wants to convert it into a community gallery/studio/general arts space. 5 of us agreed to take on a lease and open the space, which will eventually grow to cover the entire floor as he knocks out walls, and turn it into studio space, a gallery, and a performance space. Like Telophase, it's a cross-genre multi-disciplinary collective. Only we'll call it something else. The beginning 5 are me (writing, bookmaking, installation), a photographer, a musician, a ceramics artist, and a printmaker.

We're pairing our first opening with the July downtown Arts Walk, which should bring thousands to the neighborhood.

Also I have a December solo show at a different gallery around the corner.

Not bad for two weeks in town.
