¡Hola Friends!

We are still looking far & wide for artists and teachers who can contribute their creative work for Dream Seeding for Changing Realities All Ages Art Show in March.

I also just wanted to let folks know about our forming community art, project a series of “dream clouds,” large, medium, & small paper clouds that we will be collaging and decorating to be “dreams” of a more compassionate culture & beautiful world.

We still be starting this multi-piece project at the fun, free Ann Arbor Reskilling Festival, an all day festival of classes on such things as sewing, cooking, puppetry, permaculture, & more, on this Saturday February 5th from 12-3. See http://a2reskill.blogspot.com/ for all the details of the Festival!

After this, the “dream clouds” project will be continued by a group of young artists at the Ann Arbor Learning Community, an alternative K-8 school before we show it in our Dream Seeding for Changing Realities All Ages Art Show in March. And maybe elsewhere as well…

We welcome co-creators at any stage of this project, including this Friday evening February 4th, where we will be preparing the clouds for the

Festival (and maybe addressing postcards & making home made play dough) while enjoying refreshments at our house in Ann Arbor!

Please get in touch, if you are interested/able!

More to come!

Thanks a lot!
