For those of you who have not already heard, last winter I submitted a proposal for a public art piece to be displayed in the new Snoqualmie Town Hall. A few months ago I gave a presentation about the piece to the town's arts committee and it was well received. I have been waiting for a response ever since.
This last Monday there was a city council meeting that I was invited to and part of the evening's agenda was to discuss my proposal and subsequent budget. After long last, the committee all agreed "Yea" for approval and that makes me now officially a professional and PAID! working artist.
Hooray!
In other news, this past weekend I attended the Glass Art Society's 2008 conference in Portland, Or. It was an amazing and inspirational blast! I met up with many friends I haven't seen for years and saw so much wonder. I have attached a few pics from the event. The artist demonstrating is Richard Marquis and team. There are a few other faces I captured in the crowd that might be familiar to some. Can you spot them?
