Lots of Great Things Going On!

I just want to give you all a heads up, there are a lot of things going on in the neighborhood!

Saturday, November 8 at 4 PM the Museum of Fine Arts Houston's annual Naomi Turner True Lecture at the Glassell School of Arts is presented by artist John Alexander. His lecture is entitled Observations of the World through Drawing. This talk would be excellent for middle and high school students and their parents. The lecture is free and open to the public. A reception to meet the speaker follows.

Houston Center for Contemporary Craft has its monthly Hands On Houston November 1st. They'll be making beaded ornaments. If you missed the last Hands On Houston you missed an extraordinary experience. Glass paperweights, sun catchers, and so much more. Don't miss this next round!

Lawndale Art Center, just across the street from the Houston Center for Contemporary Craft, has its annual Day of the Dead exhibit. November 1st from 12 to 4 will be the Family Fiesta. There will be lots of fun and entertainment. Come check it out. Art, sugar skulls, Ballet Folklorica, pan de muerto and more, what more could you want?

I'll be out and about for these events. Maybe I'll see you there!

Mariposas Monarcas, Calaveras and IB

This last week has been incredibly full!

On Friday our Symbolic Monarchs went on their way to Angangueo, Mexico, a little town in the middle of the monarch sanctuaries. If you want to keep track of the Monarch migration and other information pertinent to the Monarch's check in occasionally with the Symbolic Migration 2014-2015

On Saturday I spent the afternoon hanging the high school students work at Lawndale Art Center for the 27th Annual Días de los Muertos celebration. It takes place from October 20 to November 8th.

I followed that up with Visual Arts IB training on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday.

I don't know why I don't remember having a weekend!
