Wrap Up

It has been a little over a week now and I have had time to regroup and reflect on the entire event. Just before this event, we were faced with a real economic downturn, record breaking snow storm and then the floods. To be honest, there were some sleepless nights wondering if anyone would be willing to make the trip. But, you call came! There were a few small glitches, but for the most part the weekend was a success! I understand there were those of you who tried to come, but could not come because of road closures due to flooding. But, after the water subsided, you made your way over to see the BAM exhibition and the gallery exhibits! I am still getting feedback from the galleries that there people forming individual tour groups, some coming back with friends. We need to bottle this enthusiastic positive energy and keep it with us in 09! And thank you for all your kind responses to the entire event.


Let’s continue to create community efforts collaborating with Museums, arts organizations, artists collectors and art enthusiasts! We are living in uncertain times, but there is strength in numbers!

Here are some articles related to the basketry exhibits –
