Shoreline Museum eviction from Ronald School?


Public Meeting
Thursday, June 4, 2009
7PM
Shorewood Highschool

(the school adjacent to the museum, to the south)

This is the last public meeting on this issue, I'd like it to be a big one!
(The room will probably be air conditioned, too.)


I have been in touch with many of you about this. Some of you have written to the school board
expressing your displeasure with the proposed eviction of the Shoreline Historical Museum from the old Ronald School. There have been a lot of statements and rebuttals from both the school district and the museum. I certainly have my own strong opinion about the process or lack thereof with which this was carried out.

But at this moment the important thing is for the school board to see the community's support for the museum staying in the Ronald School. Warm (especially today!) bodies is a good way to get that message across. If you can come to tonight's meeting, even for a while, please do.

First Tuesday is on...

...yes, it is! Thank you for your support and patience while I've been through these troubling times.

Next Tuesday, June (how did that happen?) 2nd. Any time after 5pm, until...whenever. I'll be working on a 4x6 inch piece of art for this. You can, too. I'll even provide an envelope and a stamp. See you!

All better now.

Email and website back in service.

Email Snafu!

If anyone is trying to email me or visit my website, it is temporarily unavailable--should be fixed in 24 hours (I'm told). If you need to talk to me leave a comment here or call me: 206-853-2513.

Sorry about that.

Third Friday - April 17

My mom's first chemo is today, and I'm not sure if I'll need to be around for her this afternoon/evening or not; it depends on how sick she feels.

If I'm not needed, I'll probably be in the studio working on books and you're welcome to come by. Call first: 206-853-2513. (Yes, I found my cell phone...a good story in itself.)

Normal is coming.

First Tuesday

Some of you know that my mother has been seeing a lot of doctors lately; last Friday it was confirmed that she has cancer. We don't know for sure what the next step is, but so far the oncologist is being optimistic, and thinks she would respond well to treatment. We'll know more after this Wednesday, and I'll let you all know.

So there will be no art party as such on Tuesday, April 7. I may be in the studio a little later on in the evening, and if anyone wants to call, and then come by I'd be happy to see you. Things are too unsettled for me to be any more predictable than that at the moment. I hope to be back on the regular Art Party schedule soon. I miss you all!

Keep making art.

Brilliant - at least I think so...

Hello Artoids: While we are not getting together, check out this website. Call it a virtual Third Friday.

Thanks to Took for telling me about it.

No Third Friday this week

I'm sorry to have to cancel this Friday's Art Party. I will be at the doctor with an ailing family member that afternoon. First Tuesday should go on as scheduled April 7. I'll keep you posted.

Tuesday, March 3

Ist Tuesday...already?

Jeez, February messes me up! It's already first Tuesday tomorrow. Yes, the studio will be open. I've been playing with polymer clay lately, making some little shrine/house/window shapes for jewelry or embellishments or...something. I think I'll just leave that out for whoever is interested. There's clay, a couple of pasta machines to roll it out, some small cookie cutters, metal leaf, pearly metallic powder to brush on and other basic and less basic supplies. I don't think we'll cook them there; that can be done at home.

Other than that, there's always paper, glue and scissors. Books and/or collage are always possibilities.
