As we close March, National Women's History Month, we'd like to celebrate 3 women who write and create with verve, energy and humor!!! My favorite combo! First 2 poets: Nancy Scott, poetess extroadinaire has collaborated with artist, Maryann Riker, in a new collaborative chapbook entitled, "The Nature of Beyond". Her opening poetic work sets the stage.
He chirps before five,
rain or shine. He knows how
singing shapes the world.
Coupled with artwork inspired by the poems, this artistic chapbook celebrates the spirit and its journeys. For more information about the book, go to "NEW Release!" on this website. Another great poetess, Beth Seetch, delights in a frank optimism that imbues her poetry with an edginess that is crystalline and sharp. For more work by Beth, check out www.seetchwritingconsultants.com. And, one more woman to celebrate is the book artist, Lois Morrison who opens April with an exhibit at Lafayette College's, Skillman Library. For more info, check out http://www.library.lafayette.edu/. She will be lecturing on Friday, April 1st at 12 noon and will present awards for the Edible Book Arts Fest at 1:00 p.m.
Another great weekend can be had in Philly! Check out the new exhibit at the Franklin Institute "DaVinci's Workshop" with great interactive 3-d stations showcasing Leonardo's fabulous codices and brings his drawings of his inventions to life in 3-d. Also, on view is the recreation of the refurbishment of his "Last Supper". This exhibit delights all ages particularly those young at heart. Another gem is the Pennsylvania Academy of the Arts highlighting the recently-installed "Gross's Clinic" in their new contemporary galleries next to the original building. The buildings are beautiful and their collections spectacular. From Peale to Eakins to Bettye Saar and Nicholas Cave, they have it all. Another great institution in Philadelphia which is closeby and can be viewed on your way to lunch at The Reading Terminal, is The Fabric Workshop. A long-time honored arts facility with artist residencies that run from 3-6 months, The Fabric Workshops constantly exhibits high-quality collaborative projects between artists and the community. So, enjoy March! And, let the April showers begin for we all know May brings rays of sunshine.
