"Neighbors" by Rosemary Powelson Last month I mentioned that the update for the Experience Art brochure had been sent to the printer. This month I planned on including a picture of the update with this blog post. But, no luck. My old printer doesn’t want to scan today. My husband has a brand new printer but it is early in the morning and I haven’t had enough coffee to learn how to operate new devices. With the new insert and thousands of brochures, I have hours of stuffing and distributing the next few months. If you know about an event or location where art needs to be included, please let me know.
Rosemary Powelson has left for a month long artist residency at the Kimmel Harding Nelson Art Center khncenterforthearts.org in Nebraska City, Nebraska She will continue work on her “Heartland” series. You can see examples from this body of work on her website: www.rosemarypowelson.com. She will be writing while she is traveling. You can follow her experiences and see her photographs and art on her blog: blog.rosemarypowelson.com.
I would like to promote local art blogs and websites. I know about four blogs and a few websites. Please send me information about others.
