ARTRUMPS: sending a message

Which would you rather do: send a message, or collect a work of art?

Trick question. You can do both at ARTRUMPS: Resistance and Action, which opens (on purpose) on April Fool's Day. Work by artists around the world is up for sale, including the work of Roz Chast, cartoonist for the New Yorker magazine.

Details:

I hope one or both of my collages compel someone to donate.

And if they do, I suspect I'll use my fee to turn around and purchase someone else's art from the exhibit. Does that count as reinvesting in the arts?

Just. So. Tired.

I'm going to make the understatement of a lifetime: this week was hard. Because I'm all out of pretty words, I point you in the direction of poet Maggie Smith. 

This poem beautifully captures the parenting dilemmas I've been wrestling with since at least 2011. (And again in 2013.  And in 2014. Pretty sure I'll keep thinking about this a lot.) Meanwhile, I'll spend this weekend regrouping. Perhaps next week I'll have more for you.
