PLAY: Deliciously Happy
"A pre-requisite for an artwork that manifests a counter-consciousness is that the separation which existed between the artist and the audience is closed, that they become mutually engaged, to the point where the audience become the rationale in both the making and the reception of the work." - Stephen Willats, Society Through Art

Craft Night #3 & Craft Night #4: Spring into SPRING!
Craftville's Craft Night #3 & Craft Night #4 were as fun as can be!
Craft Night #3 consisted of making paper flowers. We made a ton of paper flowers and placed them all around the gallery. By the end of the night, we had flowers popping up out of the stage, the shelves, the carousel book: EVERYWHERE! It was magical . . .
At Craft Night #4, we celebrated SPRING! We made fabric flower wristlets and button rings. The president of Belmont stopped by and said hello, and some spontaneous drummers showed up and performed! Our bird-friend, Megpie, from the opening reception flew in and helped finish up the outside installation and did a bit of fingerweaving. What a great way to end our Craftville Craft Nights and Deliciously Happy! A great closing celebration indeed!

Craft Night #2: St. Patty's-inspired Tie Snakes!
Fast forward a few months to May 18th, and you'll see a whole new collaborative project on display at the Metropolitan Nashville Arts Commission gallery. This time in partnership with Camilla Spadafino and my neighborhood school, Lockeland Design Center Elementary. My new 2nd grade friends and I are putting on an exhibit called: Imagination & Collaboration, a Boys And Girls Club.
In preparation for this event, Craftville and Deliciously Happy have decided to make this Thursday's Craft Night a Lockeland Family Craft Night. We've invited the whole east side neighborhood over to the Leu Center for The Visual Arts to experience the works of Deliciously Happy created by the students at USN, LEAD Academy, Bordeaux Elementary, and the sculpture students at Belmont.
