Spring has finally arrived!  Winter seemed to have quite a grasp on us for way too long, but it is wonderful to see things turning green once again.  The spring flowers seem to have relished the snow and rain and are blooming better than ever before.  I think they were longing for the warmth and sun as much as we were.

While so much was hibernating, a new event was started in the nearby lakeshore town of Algoma.  A few galleries and other locations started opening their doors one evening every month (the second Friday), bringing in some visiting artists, highlighting the art of their resident artists and sometimes providing entertainment and refreshments.  Bren Sibilsky invited me to join her in her studio/gallery (E5977 Fremont Rd., just west of town), and we have been having a wonderful time talking with many visitors.  Some people have known of Bren and her work for a long time, others are just finding out what kind of amazing artists are hidden (in plain sight!) around the area.  Other locations on the ArtWave are Clay on Steele and Steele Street Floral and the Kewaunee Academy of Fine Art (all on Steele St. downtown), SteelHead Saloon and Caffe’ Tlazo on the main drag through town.

This Friday is the second Friday in May, so ArtWave is upon us again!  Bren and I both strive to have new work to show and this month is no different.  So, from 5-8 PM, May 13 come on out to Algoma (at least those of you within driving distance!) stop and see Bren and I, then head on to downtown Algoma to visit the other locations.  Caffe’ Tlazo will have some specials as well as musical entertainment.  With everything coming alive it’s a great drive from anywhere in the area!  Hope to see you.
