Spring Shadows Art Center

Since The Green House Gallery & Art Center has closed, I have been working on a plan for another neighborhood art center for the Spring Branch area. I found an empty building that would work well, so I began putting together a plan. I am now at the point where I can confidently begin bringing other people together for serious discussion. I am calling an organizational meeting for Tuesday, May 6 at 7PM at the Starbucks on the corner of Gessner & Kempwood. The space is in this plaza, so everybody interested in serving this art center can have a peek at the place. I am very excited about this new plan and can't wait to get the wheels in motion. It will be great for our community to have an art center where everyone regardless of age, race, income level, etc. can come together to create. Anyone interested in helping me with this new non-profit art center is welcome to attend the meeting.

Sadness envelopes me

My heart is sad today. It is difficult to fail. Knowing "You gave it the old college try" is not good enough. Why is being an artist such a heartache? All we want is peace and all things good for mankind. WE are not a greedy lot. Artists are kind and caring of others. We see beauty in things and want to share our vision. This is why we create, to recreate and share. If you believe that humanity is connected, then why do we disagree or take advantage of others? Life is not equitable. Ideas are sometimes not equitable either, however when we work together and share, something good can be done. When greed enters into the mix, nothing good can come of it. When nothing good comes, creativity fads away and greed remains. How much is enough? There is enough for all. Life is abundant. AS long as life remains, art and creativity remains. Things fade away. But creativity remains.
