Grand Canyon Celebration of Art Sept. 2009

Here are one of my side projects. I am working on this event.







The Grand Canyon Association believes that art provides a unique opportunity to educate and inspire visitors about this world-class park.

The new Grand Canyon Celebration of Art, which will launch in the fall of 2009 at the South Rim of Grand Canyon National Park, will provide an opportunity for visitors to see the works of some of the best artists in the nation as they seek to capture the beauty of this timeless landscape on canvas.

This weeklong event will include the Grand Canyon Modern Masters Invitational, a juried art competition and show, as well as Plein Air and Quick Draw events.

All proceeds from these events will be dedicated to the creation of a permanent art venue in the Historic District of the South Rim and will help to ensure that future generations of park visitors will be able to experience Grand Canyon art at its best.

This is from one of the artists: Serena Supplee

The Butterfly Project

I heard about this before and then saw it again on Crafty Crow (love this site)

In an effort to remember them, Holocaust Museum Houston is collecting
1.5 million handmade butterflies.

The butterflies will eventually comprise a breath-taking exhibition, currently scheduled for Spring 2012, for all to remember.

As of Summer 2008, we have already collected an estimated 400,000 butterflies.

Please facilitate the
“I Never Saw Another Butterfly” activity and create as many handmade arts-and-crafts butterflies as possible. This project may be completed by all ages as individuals or groups.

Butterflies should be no larger than 8 inches by 10 inches.
Butterflies may be of any medium the artist chooses, but two-dimensional submissions are preferred.
Glitter should not be used.
Food products (cereal, macaroni, candy, marshmallows or other perishables) also should not be used.
If possible, e-mail a photograph of your butterflies, to butterflyproject@hmh.org.

Please send or bring your butterflies to the Museum by June 30, 2011, with the following information included:

Your name,
Your organization or school,
Your address,
Your e-mail address, and
The total number of butterflies sent.
Mail or bring your butterflies to:

Holocaust Museum Houston
Butterfly Project
Education Department
5401 Caroline St.
Houston, TX 77004
