Serious spring showers happening here in Milwaukee!! Our first thunder storm of the season--- better than shoveling that's for sure!

Per usual there is too much happening at once. I've been preparing for the Summer Art vs. Craft which is now secured for two days, July 7th & 8th. There is a lot in the works with that, new exciting stuff.... can't say yet, but soon!

Last week I hung the new show up at Paper Boat "Scavengers Rejoice" new work by Tracy Bull (MA) & "Crystal Vision" new work by Erika Somogyi (NY). It is really really great, I am a huge fan of Tracy who I met via craft fairs and I have admired Erika's work on-line for the past few years and couldn't be more pleased to have it in the gallery. I haven't gotten around to posting show pictures on flickr yet, but soon.

Here is a list of things I'm involved with one way or another happening this weekend. It's a lot, but if your in the hood, try to support one or more of these events.
