 Greetings   
Welcome to my newsletter!

Fall always seems like the start of the new year to me. It is the beginning of the academic year, the art season and the Jewish New Year. I miss buying school supplies! But  I do get to sharpen a few pencils and look forward to a few openings!

Returning to The Book Trader for the Fringe is one of my all time favorite projects. This is my 10th Anniversary Show. This year I will be there on 2 Sundays, September 6 & 13, 12- 2 PM for interactive mixed media workshops on the topic FAMILY: Portraits + Stories. What would we do without them?? Please join me to explore this topic through your creative process!! The installation is there everyday September 3- 19, 10 AM to 10 PM. John Thornton will be filming us on Sept 13, so I could use a good audience that day!!  So please stop by!! Peter also has 100,000 titles in his amazing store!

I wish all my Jewish friends and family a Happy and Healthy New Year. May there be peace in Israel and in the whole world!

Hope I see you at the art and cultural events around town!

Artfully yours,
Linda
