Winter Open Studios at Lena Street Lofts & Second Street Studios

My good friend Scout Dunbar is participating in a wonderful open studio show in her new home of Sante Fe, NM - if you're in and around that area between December 9th and 10th, you should definitely check out all of the extremely talented artists and their work.

Curate Santa Fe is working with both Lena Street Lofts & Second Street Studios to put this on, and it looks like it will be an awesome show!

Scout Dunbar - In The Ring

So excited that my friend Scout Dunbar has another exhibit up in her hometown of Ithaca! If you're around the Gorges land through May 5-27th, be sure to stop by The Ink Shop to check out her new show "In The Ring" (as well as another exhibit by the equally talented Skye Schirmer, "Blinded by Truisms").

The opening reception is May 5th from 5-8pm at the Ink Shop Studio Gallery, so be sure to stop by to chat with Scout and get a look at all her new work!

SWATCH

Another great show to keep an eye on (featuring my friend Scout Dunbar, as well as Anna Buckner, Sarah Harrison, Na Chainkua Reindorf and Theo Willis) if you're around Ithaca between February 27th and March 3rd. Hosted by the Experimental Gallery at Cornell University, it looks to be a really great show featuring many talented artists.

A debate...

I've been debating writing this for a while now. As I've mentioned in an earlier post, I've been working under the assumption that 2016 was a year of change for me. It has to be said that not all changes are good, no matter how much you believe they are when they happen.

And that left me with the question - when is the best time to realize that a change for the better is actually for the worse? What happens when you needed a change to happen regardless - does it really matter if the first door that opens leads you into a burning room rather than where you want to be?

In this case, I decided I still needed a change, if only because every experience is exactly that: an experience. I've always been taught that there are lessons that can be learned regardless of your situation, so if it means I'm in a room on fire, I've had enough experience to figure my way out of it.

So maybe in the end I was wrong - maybe 2016 was just another chain of experiences leading to the changes I actually needed to make 2017 the year for me. Only time will tell.
