Art + Youth=Fantastic (and Fantastical)
Henry David Thoreau once said, “This world is but a canvas to our imagination,” reminding us of the boundless power of creativity. The Eye-Magine The Future Youth Art Exhibit invites young artists to harness that potential and share their visions of tomorrow with the community.

Thank you to everyone who came out to yesterday's These Wilds celebration at MacFadden Coffee Co. It was a fantastic event and really demonstrated the power of local arts to bring people together. I was up front doing introductions and failed to get any images. The readings were delightful and the artwork from the selected journal artists (up at the cafe until the end of August) was a wonderful backdrop to the readings. The two guest editors did a fantastic job creating a truly wonderful compilation of words and images.

Tempted to go see the Tempest. GO!
We caught this Shake on the Lake show last night and it is a fantastic romp featuring a talented cast of human actors/musicians--along with puppets, masks, and performing objects. Just four more shows for the 2025 season!
