As a note to all the artists I have the opportunity to work with when it is NOT Spring Break… I will be in the building from about 8 – Noon on Monday, April 21 hanging artwork. If you are interested in coming in to work, help, or simply gather supplies for the rest of the vacation (because there is a lot to do when we all get back) come on in and find me. I should be in the art room or in the hall between the atrium and the cafeteria. Have a GREAT SPRING BREAK!
