CSPC is back in biz, SEAF and ART

It is good news for CSPC as they have secured insurance after much hard work.  If you can show your support by attending a party this week, they are back to their normal schedule.  It is times like these that we realize how fortunate we are in Seattle to have such an unique place to play, attend workshops and make and visit with friends.  Keep up the good work!

There's still one week to submit your work to SEAF.   Call for Literary Art closes on Monday, March 15 (12 a.m. PT).

Visit www.SEAFArtist.com for details on how to participate in this destination event.

Thanks to SEAF for the updates.

This Thursday is Blitz, the art walk held on the second Thursday of every month on Capitol Hill from 5:00-8:00pm.   On Friday at Dunshee House they have GaYme nights and want to have women attend...check it out on the Seattle Announcements Calendar.

Remember this weekend is Daylight Savings Time!

That's it for now.

Opportunities and Deadlines approaching for SEAF

The Seattle Erotic Art Festival (SEAF) truly has a spot for about anyone that has the energy to share, one just has to be mindful of the approaching deadlines which are within this post and on our Seattle Announcements Calendar.  They are doing so many exciting and NEW things this year (take a peek at how they have expanded what art will be shown with Roger Benington).  

I know that many of the people we have in our group are so talented--incredibly talented in many ways that SEAF is tapping into.  If they have not spoken to your artistic spirit before, they may be now.  Whether you have an art to share or can spare your talents in other ways, SEAF has the desire and room for you!  Please take a moment to read their offerings as there as some wonderful possibilities.    Ms T
