I just received official notification – my application for an Artist in the Community grant was selected for funding!<\/p>\n

I am amazed! And a bit in shock. And scared – can I really do what I proposed? Will it take an ungodly amount of hours to accomplish? What will I have to forgo to be successful at this?<\/p>\n

YIKES!<\/p>\n

I’ve already sent out email notifications to the people who agreed to partner with me – the elementary art teacher and the local library board – to let them know so we can begin planning in earnest.<\/p>\n

Here’s the shortest synopsis that explains that plan: About 160 kids in grades 3-5 will each weave a small square (about 3″) on an individual loom. Then, I’ll set up a larger loom (about 2′ x 3′) at each of 3 community concerts, with musical groups in 3 different genres. People attending the concert will be invited to weave. We’ll see if the musical genre impacts the colors and\/or type of weaving people do. After all that, I’ll weave or sew students’ squares into borders for the larger pieces. All will then be in a semi-permanent installation outside the library.<\/p>\n

Whew! Does that sound ambitious or what?!<\/p>\n

Incidentally, the community weaving project from Angelica<\/a> this past summer made it to my house a few weeks ago. They needed to take it down from the storefont and I was happy to hang it on my porch. I think it looks great. (Not a good photo. I’ll try again on a cloudy day.)
