I can tell when I’ve settled into the new year when I no longer have to erase the “2” and replace it with a “3.” It used to be a problem, until I took to using a mechanical pencil. But that’s another story. Today’s story…some thoughts on where we’ve been and where we’re going.
You already know the bad news. Life is something of a juggling act. At times you must cut back or risk dropping everything. So it is with our friend Margaret Helthaler. We will miss her cheerful participation, wise advice, and her incredibly beautiful work.
It’s been a year since we became a “Gallery without Walls.” This new beginning, a re-invention of ourselves, has been an exciting process. We are a diverse group, all from different backgrounds, all taking different approaches to our craft and working in very different media. But during the year, as we created a website, planned and participated in events, our differences blended into the background and our group pulled together as one. The impossible was made possible. Technical challenges, deadlines, and the physical tasks of setting up, sitting, and taking down exhibits were made much less daunting by the caring participation of the group.
Our schedule for the coming year is still being planned. We have applied to a number of shows and are waiting for notification of acceptance. As we receive confirmation, look for changes on our events page! Many thanks to our friends for your support in 2012. We look forward to seeing you again in the coming year.
