Well, I don't have any new photos, but I have some hear-say to report! Scott and Sean worked on the Ice Art Swap last week and it sounds like they made some progress. Siding courtesy of Kaara's dad Harry was added, the "big" window installed (an old shower door! hopefully it will survive the cold), and I think maybe the small windows as well. We'll be over at the Soap Factory tomorrow, so I will take some pics to post here. The Art Shanty Project opening weekend is nearing and the deadline is getting us motivated! Dana flies in the 8th, and we'll hopefully have most of the structure done by then--she can then aid us in pom-pom making and fine-tuning the gallery. We are filling our roster of Shanty volunteers who will photograph you and your artwork....we can't wait to see what your bring! Wish us luck! --julie p.s. DO YOU or someone you know have a work of art you'd like to donate to our starting gallery? Post a comment here and I'll contact you about how to get it to us. Art from anyone and anywhere is welcome! Maximum dimension in any direction is 24 inches. a shanty grows. . . 12/16/2009
