Loose Ends
Yesterday was my last day at the Gallery for quite awhile. I spent the day tying up loose ends, and trying to remember everyone I needed to contact. At the end of the day, I felt completely satisfied - everything seemed to be in order and a little farewell party at 4 o'clock gave me a real sense of closure.
Today, I'll try to decompress, and spend a little time planning the next two weeks before my classes start. There is an enormous amount I want to do, and planning is everything.

Commitment
Today, I'm officially launching the 500 Works of Art Campaign. For the next six months, the 500WoAC will hinge on the activity of this space, where I'll be posting images of original works of art to raise funds to pay for grad school.
I'll be headed into the University of Toronto's Museum Studies program, and need to raise $20,000 for expenses. That is a tidy sum, and will require directed action on my part to receive the donations required to meet my goal.
My last day at work is Thursday, and I will be tying up loose ends until then, but by next Monday, look for the first postings, and suggestions for donations.
The artistic life, it seems, must bend to the practicalities of daily life. It will be interesting to see how well I can meld academic life with this practice. Ordinarily, one would expect that one of these creative actions must come to the forefront, and overshadow the other. But I'm launching dual, or twin, and mutually supportive creative lives, filled with nascent ideas and expectations and original 'work'. Wouldn't it be great if they fulfilled one another? If the studio became the crucible for the thesis?
