hope to see you there!

I'd gladly pay tomorrow for a hamburger today...

I'm participating in an exciting project by local curator, Blair Murphy called 'barter' (web site)

'barter' is a non-monetary online auction where 13 artists have posted a good or service for the public to 'bid' on. I've put up a free intro to screen printing lesson at my studio. Check out the posting here>>

You can place your bid by explaining what you'd be willing to barter in the comments field.

There are lots of other fun things to bid on too including a year of pen pal services by local artist, Dana Maier, a personalized poem or story by poet and performance artist, Silvana Straw, or a high tech portrait by artist, Kenny George..

Bidding ends on July 21st so HURRY UP and place your bid today!

and then join Blair , the artists and winning bidders and I for a big closing reception at WPA on July 30th from 6-8pm, and witness the exchange of goods and enjoy refreshments. happy bidding!
