 Well...Arielle, Derya, Nicholas and Rachel took off on Sunday. They left HUB-BUB mid-week last week and headed up to Elsewhere in Greensboro where they did a short residency and took part in a Clothesline Project. Thanks Stephanie and George and everyone at Elsewhere for hosting them. I heard it was an unforgettable experience. The building seems pretty empty with those guys being gone. We will miss them after a great year at the Hub. Lots going on still. The Art Mart and good Junk Sale is coming up on Saturday from 10-2pm. On Monday, we've got a small film crew from Brooklyn moving into the AiR apartments for a temporary residency. Arin Crumley and Susan Buice will be arriving on the 12th and staying through the 23rd of May. Make sure to come by and meet them and come out to The Showroom on May 21st when we screen their film "Four Eyed Monster" www.foureyedmonsters.com....

You may wonder how this short term residency came about. Arin e-mailed me in January after finding Hub-Bub online. Recently, he said..."I'm interested in Spartanburg and in Hub-bub because when I visited the
website I got a real sense there was a local community being built
around art and expression. Typically this is something I see a lot of
in large cities but I'm really interested in what it looks
like when it happens in a small city. I've actually just given up my
loft in NYC and am currently on tour traveling around visiting cities
that I think could be a good new home base for my future filmmaking
projects. Once I find it i plan to make some noise and get more
creative types to move there as well and form a low cost art making
powerhouse of individuals all of whom are in some way part of the
revolution." Pretty cool.
