Its cold out there folks so I thought this picture of Derya running across the dunes and doing The Wave at the beach would warm everybody up.  Actually...Derya is not really at the beach, nor is she doing The Wave.  The AIRs hung their show at The Day School yesterday and this is merely a photomontage of the beach for her installation.  I guess the chairs and carpeted wall kinda give it away.  In other news...much going on here as usual.  It was a big weekend at HUBBUB with The Everybodyfields on Friday night (they rocked) and The Art of the Street Exhibition (it too rocked).  We had a big and diverse crowd for both events.  The AIR program is in the final push to get the word out for the upcoming February 15 deadline for 2008-2009 artists-in-residence.  If you know any young and talented artist or creative writer...send them our way...   

Aside from hanging the show at the Day School, our AIRs are busy as always.  Arielle has taken on the HUBBUB College Street Team.  They have some good goals for the spring to help get local college students involved at HUBBUB.  Derya was locked in art jail over the holidays but has re-emerged and is helping out with some knitting classes during Wofford's interim.  Nicholas is painting away and running figure drawing classes as usual.  Rachel has flown up to Michigan to do a reading...and is consequently missing the big Spartanburg snow.  She'll be back to HUBBUB this weekend and back to making recordings for  the HCWP book she's been working on since she arrived.  So...that's that.  Load up on Fritos and beer...we'll see you next week.
