a newsletter about current events & updates
Greetings!

Oh, my - there were 38 items to add this week. Sorry it just goes on and on - but I don't know any other way of doing it. And a shameless plug for the museum - please go on the Open Studios Tour next weekend - September 29 and 30. It's really special. Tickets are on sale at the Grants Pass Museum of Art, Gallery One, and Oregon Books. Only $20 and you get to visit 10 studios and see the work of 13 different artists. Thanks!
Enjoy!
Hyla

p.s. In many cases the images below can be clicked to link to a website. I try and do that whenever there are tickets to purchase or other reasons to link.
If you want something added to this newsletter - please click here! The best thing to send me is a PDF or JPG of a poster describing your announcement. Do not send me press releases. They don't work well in this format and I don't have the time to reformat them. Thanks!

This video has gone viral - probably because grandmas are sharing it with other grandmas. It makes us laugh. (It actually starts at 0.27 so be patient or fast forward.)
