Robert Genn Twice Weekly Newsletter

Pin It To my artist friends or collectors interested in the daily life of an artist, I am passing on this link to  
Robert Genn's Twice Weekly Newsletter.
I have found most of the articles to be inspiring but mostly have found that I am not alone in my thoughts, concerns, fears, trials, successes in the art world as a business or lively hood!
It is geared to all "creative people"; artists, photographers, sculptors, collectors, etc.... 
Today's article hits home to many different types of people. Even someone in their mid life, later life reinvention of them selves,  "fear" can keep you from succeeding.  Many are procrastinators in doing what they want in life. What's the Nike motto?  Just do it! 
Well, if you want, take a peak at today's letter and if you want, you can subscribe to the Twice Weekly Letters.  Also take a look at his website, if you creative folks out there aren't familiar with it. Lots of good stuff there!!!

A QUESTION OF COLOR

By Michael Bettencourt
Directed by David Hallatt

Sept. 21–22, 27–29; Oct. 4–6 at 8 p.m.

Sept. 30 & Oct. 7 at 3 p.m.

In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, many states in the south had laws making miscegenation (interracial marriage) a crime. A Question of Color is the story of a white man and a black woman defying this prohibition and  their struggle as they live under the shadow cast by color and prejudice in early 20th century North Carolina.

And in the water she went!

Extraordinary Arts Exhibit

The Charleston Artist Guild sponsors the Extraordinary Art Exhibit annually for lowcountry area special needs students. This year it will be at the Gaillard Auditorium on Feb. 1st to 4th 2012. We have over 100 entries from many schools. It is a highlight of the art program for the children to exhibit their artwork in public and possibly win a prize. Every entrant will receive a gift certificate for art supplies. After a reception of donuts and soft drinks, we have a local art judge present the ribbons. Steve Jacobs is there playing his key board, and all the families are invited to join the festivities. It is truly a wonderful outreach event for the students & families AND for our members as well!
Be sure to come out and support these wonderful kids and view their masterpieces!
The artist reception will be on Sat, Feb 4th from 1-2 PM.
