With kindest regards, Patricia Frischer coordinator, SDVAN, patricia@sdvisualarts.net 760.943.0148 On a personal note: I am not going to lie, it has been a rough year. Nursed my husband back to health after an operation that went wrong. We got COVID while in London. Had to shift 35 years of possessions. Fell down and bruised my ribs while visiting in laws. Got colds. But we also celebrated 20 years of SDVAN with a grand party. I turned 75 with the help of good friends. We launched the 16 th year of the SD Art Prize. I got to see and report on wonderful local exhibitions surrounded by talented creatives. Got to see the return of the County Arts and Culture Commission, a goal I have had for over 10 years. Contributed to the strategic plan and future launch of the Pacific View Arts Center in Encinitas. I am beyond grateful. P.S. For those of you who remember Joseph Bennett, he and Eli Hans are having a mini-retreat on New Years Day called Bringing Forth from 11 am to 1 pm. You can join by zoom or watch later. We always love to support their excellent projects from Mexico. RAW Archived for 2022 |
