I can say that we’ve certainly had a busy week at the museum. Last night we had our one year anniversary party for ArtLink, our collaborative young friends group we share with Laumeier and the Shakespeare Festival. It was lots of fun. We hosted it at Mercury, loads of new people came to sign up, and many familiar faces stopped by. What was thrilling was that people were having a great time and were in many engaging conversations — and we got to be a part of this dialogue. I consider us lucky.
On other news — our office is currently flooded with art work. So many artists and galleries have been extremely generous in donating some very wonderful work for our auction Arts Desire. This is huge. It’s our fundraiser for the year, and will drive us towards meeting the last part of Mrs. Pulitzer’s challenge. And, to mark the occasion, we have a YouTube advertisement. Check it out. Have a great weekend!
