If the world is to be healed through human
efforts, I am convinced it will be by ordinary
people, people whose love for this life is even
greater than their fear. - Joanna Macy

Dear hand in hand arts friends,
Happy Summer!

greycolor.jpgActually I think Art lies in both directions - the broad strokes, big picture but on the other hand the minute examination of the apparently mundane. Seeing the whole world in a grain of sand, that kind of thing. - Peter Hammill

I'd love to hear what's going on in your part of the planet. Send snail mail or e-mail. On a snail mail note, I'll be moving in August, drop me an e-mail if you would like my new address.

Much peace, warmth (not to hot!), and joy this summer.

  Volunteering in Boston

Krowka and I volunteer almost every Monday! It's been amazing for me, krowka and the folks we visit. Some say it's the highlight of their week and I would have to say it might be mine as well. Check out the program if you have a pet or know or one that might like to bring amazing joy to folks lives. Recently we started to do a home Hospice visit as well!

Step off the street from the alumni sale and join Laura Evonne Steinman ’99 SC in some big art-making for little people
(and their larger friends). Join in sewing parts of the giant community banner or make your own mini fabric collage using recycled remnants, 100% felt from plastic bottles and more!  Sewing skills will be taught for folks that need a refresher or a place to start.
