The show is up.

I’ll go back tomorrow and fine tune it.

It’s kind of a funny feeling, all the preparation, and then in just a few hours, BOOM, it’s up.

It’s disorienting in a way.

I’m so use to leaning into it.

It looks really nice.

The lighting is not great, and good lighting is pretty important when viewing high-end art, but that can be fixed down the road.

I’ve already spoken to the director of the library, about establishing the library as being a place for art education, with Verona students being the focus.

Providing them with a pathway of sorts, something of a local goal,

that they can relate to,

to shoot for.

Find talent and support it.

Create the respected,

dare I say historical example,

in the realm of hometown,

(like it used to be in NYC back in the day)

so that artists in townships and cities everywhere can look up to it and do the same.

The future is local.

I now have four months.

Let’s see what we can do.

I think Verona has a special opportunity here, and I intend to make the most of it.

(I’ll post photos of the show here, once I get it together - juggling many balls.)
