Its been an exciting week here at Hub-Bub. Our four new artists arrived last week and the first order of business was moving them in to their new apartments. Since each artist brought only the art, art supplies, clothes, record collections, camping gear, and workout equipment that they could cram into their cars, it meant that moving them in was a breeze. It also means that furniture is sparse 'round here. Fortunately everyone has a bed (although I'm told that Nicholas is sometimes sleeping on the floor). Finding tables and chairs for these guys is on the "do" list for sure...

Last week was spent mainly getting
the artists settled in Spartanburg. They took numerous trips to the DMV, the post
office, the Salvation Army, grocery stores, hardware stores, fabric shops,
etc. They've hit a bunch of local coffee
shops, found a few choice watering holes and enjoyed some really good dinners
together. One of the highlights (for me
at least) was the veggie potluck dinner here at the Showroom on Sunday June 3rd. This event takes place monthly and if you've
never been you should try to stop by on Sunday July 1st for the next one
(everybody's gotta eat). The artists
each brought impressive dishes (homemade guacamole, bruschetta, corn salad,
etc.) which made an already nice spread even nicer (there was everything from
faux salmon to a vegetarian Indian dish to brownies...mmmm). I provided a bag of pita chips and a
container of store-bought hummus...I promise to do better next time. On Sunday the 9th we attended another
really nice dinner at the Spartanburg Memorial Auditorium. It was a benefit hosted by the Olive Garden
on the night before the ascent of Mt.
Mitchell. Artists need to carbo-load too you know. Especially with all the projects they're
working on.
These guys have some great ideas
and it's going to be an exciting year.
Right now they're focused on getting ready for their Entrance Show which
will take place at the Showroom on June 26th from 7-9pm. You can visit their profiles and blogs to
learn more about them and what they're up to.
I'll keep you posted each week too so stay tuned...
Thanks and hope to see you around.
