Well, that’s putting it a little past sanity but paraphrasing Jackie Reeves, “People need art more than ever in hard times…”.  Last night’s NAHS Art Induction and the Mural Dedication were very well attended.  AND I CAN’T SAY ENOUGH ABOUT THE ‘ART CAKES AND COOKIES’!!!   Who can forget their first bite of Picasso’s ‘The Women’ cookie or their first taste of Escher’s mind-bending cake?  Thank you to the students who brought these fantastic edible art pieces for the event.  I hope the students feel duly celebrated for their hard work and community services hours.  Thank you so much, whether you worked on the mural or did other community service.  You make a difference!  BUT….JACKIE REEVES, YOU ARE A TREASURE!  Without Jackie and her calm and professional expertise (frenzy only happens within the confines of appropriate audience) this-the mural-WOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED.   Also, a big KUDOS to Mr. Rigazio who probably does a lot more that he is asked to do because he knows it’s the right thing to do.  So, for now, stop by and make a wish on one of the butterflies, or turtles or even the tie, for a great life made better by art.  Remember….”I paint, therefore, I ART”
