Open Engagement and going to Jail...




City of Asylum Home
As always the Open Engagement conference on Socially engaged art was excellent, offering lots to think about.  Please take a look at the page with the link to the right of this entry to see some of what I saw and heard.  Pittsburgh was a wonderful, hilly surprise (with over 147 bridges,) and lots of other wonderful people and cultural happenings to recommend it.

What's next?  Going to Jail of course!  Much harder to get in than I would have imagined! We have been working on the scheduling for several months and now things have finally fallen into place.  I will be working with ReEntry, an organization based in Hudson that offers a range of services for folks just getting out of prison.  This program, a create arts workshop, will be offered for women at the Columbia County Jail in Hudson.




















Hope to see you at the opening for the Thompson Giroux Gallery exhibition: PASSAGE PATH ROAD ROUTE WAY Saturday, April 25, 4-6pm.
