Yesterday I delivered this piece for the TEXTural exhibition at Live Worms Gallery (@livewormsongrant) in North Beach of San Francisco. This impressive show, curated by gallery proprietor and esteemed altered book artist @elizabethashcroft6003, features artworks by 50 artists who incorporate letters, words, and text into their creative process. We invite you to visit the exhibition that opens this Thursday, August 4th and runs through Sunday, August 28th, 2022. The monthly neighborhood event, North Beach First Friday, coming up on August 5th, is always packed full of creative energy – you will find art, poetry, performance and music strewn throughout the lively North Brach neighborhood. Hope you can check it out if you find yourself in the San Francisco!

Building little houses out of cardboard has been a great experience for everyone, even some of our classroom teachers started creating their own. We are getting ready to paint them and create a floating city.
