August Arts Scene with Fun, funding, and artist news!

Prose by Robin Gray

Lessons to be learned in self-isolation…

How to accept,

How to cope,

How to bounce back.

Adversity is a part of life.

How one handles and rebounds from it

Defines character.

Create, and spread positivity! Display in your window, on your porch or anywhere your art will make you or others smile as a part of the Household Art Challenge. Painted rocks, pots, or 3D sculptures. Whatever, or wherever, your imagination takes you.

Household Art Challenge
