hi everyone

hope you are having a nice day
there is still a day or two to see the stone & earth exhibit at the jacksonville center, so please stop by if you have a chance.

many thanks to everyone who made July 22 such a wonderful event.

Dr. David Hedges brought one of those old-timey cameras which was neat
Billy & I sang a Hank Williams song together
A very cute baby showed up and Cleo made lots of new friends.

I am currently organizing some exhibits in different areas of the Jacksonville Center.

Independent artists, musicians, and educators welcomed at the Traces studio in Floyd

The Traces Library for Creative Literacy exists to provide self-representing artists, writers, and musicians a venue for their creative work. Located at the Jacksonville Center for the Arts in Floyd, Virginia, the Traces space will be available during the fall and winter of 2006 for hourly, daily, or weekly rental. Facility rental fees will be used to ensure that this space can continue to stay open to the public.

The Traces facility is equipped with track lighting, and is situated in a prime location on the first level of the Jacksonville Center. This venue is ideal as a studio or display space for visual artists wishing to share their work with a wider audience while maintaining creative autonomy in an increasingly competitive marketplace. Authors, musicians, curators, and educators are also invited to make use of the Traces facility for individual and collaborative projects.

Traces is located within easy walking distance of downtown Floyd, Virginia. Accommodations are available for $35 per person per night (double occupancy) at the Jacksonville Center dormitory. Other local accommodations can be viewed by clicking here.

Please contact Traces for more information.
