Zoning Board of Appeals Round Two

It was an amazing turnout last night at the ZBA meeting. . . quite a few WAS artists overcame fear of mic and spoke as did a rep from the National Park and two folks from ArtistLink . . . I wish I had something positive to report . . . the board decided to continue the hearing until August 11th.

Why you ask?

Well it appears that there are serious public safety issues at Western Avenue . . . for example . . . one side of the building is on the Pawtucket Canal and in case of fire, the fire depar… Continue

Dirty Smelly Noisy . . . week two

Coming up for air, the scavenger hunt starts in 3 and a half hours and instead of making signs I am blogging . . . this is called procrastination.

The opening party was pretty cool, we are estimating that between 175 and 200 people showed up that night, hard to tell because people were everywhere, looking at the show, eating, talking, hanging in the gallery. The music was fantastic, the food was great and I believe everyone had a good time.

We've been getting a lot of nice comments about the s… Continue

Ashlee and I did Sunrise Radio on WUML last Thursday . . . I think it went well . . . we will see when the podcast is up and we can link to it.

Ashlee and Mark Guire did a stupendous job hanging Dirty Smelly Noisy which, by the way has topped 150 pieces scattered throughout the common areas in the building. Anna and Jessica did the labeling and now all we need to do is produce a map so people can find their own work! 150 pieces sounds really huge until you realize that it is spread over 5 floor… Continue

Positive activity at the City Council last night

Not for the artist work/live space but for the functioning of the business of art in the city. The week after the permit for the work/live space was shot down by the Zoning Board of Appeals the City Council shot down an ordinance for the creation of an office of Cultural Affairs and Special Events. CASE was designed to be a city department reporting to the City Manager. This move would make life so much easier for individuals and institutions trying to put on events in the city . . . before this… Continue

At 6:40pm on November 3, 2008, Cindie Kazmer said…: I'll be there all "gussied up". Perhaps I'll even dig up my makeup, but that could bring back flashes from the distant past. I'm definitely up for an after party!!!

At 3:35pm on November 3, 2008, Cindie Kazmer said…: I'm just trying to figure out how dolled up to get. What do you think? Formal? Semi-formal? Just crawled out of bed? Leftover Halloween costume?

At 9:20am on November 3, 2008, Anna Harrison said…: Of course I will, silly!!!! I just don't know exactly what yet...

At 11:28pm on October 14, 2008, Cindie Kazmer said…: Do you subscribe to Art in America or Modern Painters?

At 10:26pm on October 13, 2008, Cindie Kazmer said…: Fabulous photo! Brings back fond memories of mountain adventures.

At 10:33pm on October 12, 2008, Rex said…: A babe in the woods! Great photo. Were you able to find your way down the mountain?

As i told Anna, I'm actually excited about getting material for next issue. The NL looks incredible. Rex is a star. It just feels right now.

Take care
