Artsy Mondays
I’m starting something new, though really it’s an old thing. It’s called “blogging regularly.” Ha! Yes, that’s a joke… sort of! It’s a joke because blogging regularly is not new, nor is it a novel phenomena. It is new for me, however, because I have not been a regular blogger – but I want to be. I have a lot of amazingness to share and yet need to gift myself some structure so that I can actually accomplish what I set out to do. Therefore, I’m launching a 3X/week format for myself in terms of my blog posts.
WHAT’S IN STORE:
– Artsy Mondays
– Writer Wednesdays
– Film Fridays
Fun, right?!?!
- On Mondays, I’ll share about art, photography, curation, exhibit and event previews or reviews, artist interviews, studio updates, and artsy book recommendations.
- On Wednesdays, I’ll share about creative writing, editing, publishing, literary event previews or reviews, author interviews, and book updates and recommendations.
- On Fridays, I’ll share about filmmaking, behind-the-scenes, what inspires me, screenings, event previews or reviews, filmmaker interviews, updates, and film related book recommendations.
I’m tired just thinking about this.
Can I stick with this blogging schedule? We shall see. *Insert ominous laugh here.

What I believe: I am a huge supporter of local art. Both its creation and presentation. Art plays an important role in our society, broadly and personally. It is an attraction and also a critical means of communication. It speaks to the age we live in and the world we wish to form tomorrow. I am thrilled to have a part in setting the temperature of the cultural climate where I live. I bring passion, vision, and bountiful energy to my role as Curator. It’s more than a job to me. It is a calling.
