"Making something out of nothing, or precisely, luring something from the unconscious and giving it material form is the closest thing to real magic there is in this world." - art critic Michael Bonesteel

Whelp, we are doing our best to get ourselves out there...bit by bit....so I went and downloaded Instagram to my phone and set up a Pinterest Board. And if you have clicked on them....probably haven't seen too much. YET. Working on it! You can check out the different options for learning 'bout us on the home page under "Social Media Links". Catchy, no?

Come join our Merry Band of Mischief/Art Makers! There are two 108 sq ft spaces in a shared room (5 artists total) with great light, private entrance, cement floors, and rent includes wifi, utilities, garbage (not toxic disposal), and general kitchen supplies. Yes there is a kitchen. And utility sink. Bathrooms. And a shared classroom space, obviously. If you are interested in teaching.... Contact moi ASAP they are available starting February 1st!

We launched our Facebook Page this past week and already more than 300 likes! That IS encouraging! You can check it out at www.facebook.com/blueschoolarts. Now let's get to 400! 500! 5,000! MWAH HA HA!

Hard to believe that we started the moving in process in May, with just 4 of us....now we have expanded to 9 artists. It's so much fun to watch the artists here settle in create their spaces, and I have been having a great deal of fun imagining and creating the look and feel of our teaching/gathering space, The Drawing Room (pictures coming soon!). When the paint dries, we will be throwing the Madre of all Gala/Regatta Open House Celebratory Events, which will be discussed in years to come in Clinton and Whidbey Island circles. Stay tuned.
