June NewsLetter

A Monthly Update from your friends at Forum.

Our Current Show, Poignant Demands: Not from Here will be closing on June 19^th. It will be the second BBQ vs Potluck: Keep Feedin' You and Feedin' You, so prepare for a day of grilling and chilling, with great art and conversation to back up the food. Again, bring something for the grill, something to whet your whistle, and a little something to share. The potluck will start at 6pm and go for at least three hours (most likely later).

Just like every month, 78^th Street Studios will have our monthly Third Friday ( June 18^th), with all the galleries and the artists open to the public. Forum will still be showing Poignant Demands.

Recently, some friends and CIA Alums in NYC have been getting even more attention for their artistic endeavor... if you don't know about Thu and her Crew at Food Party, I suggest you look into them! Imagine if Pee-wee learned to cook, and Pee-wee's Playhouse was renamed Pee-wee's Kitchen and you might have a bit of an idea what Food Party is all about. I'm not just talking them up because I enjoy them and their work, but also because it seems a great many people do. Here is a recent Article from the LA Times on Food Party. http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/news/tv/la-ca-0516-food-party-20100516,0,6891576.story

For those of you who like to read and think as much as make,I recommend checking out Brevity, an online journal of concise nonfiction (http://www.creativenonfiction.org/brevity/index.htm). Some of the essays stick in my head for weeks.
