Get out the NAAM vote!
I’m Lisa Myers Bulmash, and I approve of these messages — but only until midnight.
I need your help to get me through the last few hours of this week’s Artist Search at the Northwest African American Museum (NAAM). The museum — and one artist — will be featured in an upcoming Amazon Prime series. So the museum’s asked their Facebook and Instagram followers for help in deciding “who will represent Black art in Seattle!”
HOW TO VOTE
Please go to NAAM's Instagram and Facebook accounts:
Vote for my artworks
Ask your friends/ family/ followers to do the same: vote, then ask others to vote.
Each like, share (must include the tag #naamnw), comment, or save on Instagram and Facebook counts as a separate vote
You know the old saying: “Vote early and vote often.” Don’t wait until 11:59pm tonight: vote now, then hit up all your art-loving friends on IG and FB and help me get out the NAAM vote!
Bloomers and water towers
In today's episode of My Twisty Little Mind: I'm thinking about water towers. And bloomers.

The bloomers are part of a Victorian-era costume for the "Public Debt to the Suffragette" chalk art installation. At the Pacific NW Chalk Fest, Mary Coss will gather a group of artists to create a tribute to those who fought for the right to vote.
I'll be at the booth on August 19th. Before and after that, though, I'll be holed up in the studio.
I've developed a thing for water towers. Not in a Jeff Foxworthy, defend-your-sister's-honor kind of way... they symbolize other, deeper things to me. And with that cliffhanger, I'll leave you until the next post... [chuckling evilly]
Artists vote, too!
Make time to vote next week! And if you live in a state that allows early voting (or mail-in ballots only, like mine), do it NOW. It took me a good hour to go through the voter's guide because we have an extra-long ballot of issues and candidates. But I needed to learn more.
I voted earlier this week, so all that's left for me to do is to urge you to do the same. (And bite my nails down to the quick, while we wait for election results on Tuesday night.)
