Fresh Start

Okay ... time for a fresh start. This page started off being a place for me to post photos I'd taken of local poets, performers, musicians, etc. so they could come check them out, use them, peruse them, whatever ... and it slowly morphed into a local event listing.

Now, I know this is my doing, I was, after all, the one who morphed it ... which means I am the only one who can morph it back. So that is what I am doing.

I will still be listing the events I'm sent on a new blog: http://in-fusion.blogspot.com/.

I am also setting up this space in hopes of providing a place for artists, writers, musicians, poets, dancers, and all other artistic/creative types to find ways to fuse, collaborate, concoct, create, integrate, or deviate from the rigid measures of our genres in any way we so chose.

If you are interested in this collaboration, come check it out, post, respond, create, relate, invigorate, join me in my fusion free-for-all! I am hoping it will propagate a magnificent mishmash of creativity and synthesis!

(Also you should be able to find even more listings of local events there once others join me in my posting frenzy!)

Viva La Fusion!

Maia Horvath’s Visual Wonderland

And now, an announcement from my good friend John, about an upcoming Art Show at his bookstore (Books, ETC.) in Macedon:

Visual Wonderland is the most recent collection of originally whimsical creations by local artist Maia Horvath now on exhibit at Books, ETC.

Maia’s eclectic style delightfully captures the imagination. Self-taught in a multitude of artistic mediums, these new experiences in polymer clay are certain to reflect her desire to offer a glimpse of God-The Ultimate Creator’s brightness, beauty and gift of humor.

Maia credits the joy in her journey to the tremendous support of her wonderful family. She lives in Fairport, New York with her husband Alex and their two children Cameron and Saige.

The community is cordially invited to an open reception for the new art exhibit on November 24, 2007 from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM at Books, ETC., 78 W. Main St., Macedon NY 14502.

John & his sister have a lovely little bookstore in downtown Macedon and often have Art Shows, Musicians, Workshops, and other fun and essential events there. Hope you have a chance to swing by and support this worthy (& all-too-endangered) endeavor of the used bookstore (as well as supporting John, who is one of my all-time favorite people on this planet).

Just for future notice: MJ Iuppa (another one of my all time favorite people on this planet) and I will be doing a joint Art Show at Books, ETC. in July.
