I had a great week aside from an icky cough: Husband’s birthday and a fine dinner with local family, a movie date to see Spectre, the last week of my first semester teaching after school art classes, selling artworks during a wee parade in downtown Waco, Dad’s birthday dinner then an evening with a whole lotta cousins ages 2-9.

Here’s some stuff I’ve been reading and working on:

Black Artists and the March into the Museum from NY Times.

Another side of the same coin, internet art star Kim Drew getting more & more recognition.

A fantastic resource, W.A.G.E. is a great group doing important work.

I’ve followed this blog for a while, excited that her book is out now. #momstuff #parenting.

I loved The Wiz Live, and I was not the only one.

Looking forward to starting a campaign with the online fundraising platform MatchMe for Cultural Arts Waco. More to come!

I made sure to go to the Barnes Foundation before their move to Philly proper, I look forward to seeing their new space and the new work they do.

On the light side – animal fun.

I feel strongly about gun control and will be following these steps, I hope you will too.
