What’s up Xion Milwaukee
We had another session last night and it was an eye opener
for me. I won't offer any excuses, I wasn't on my game last night and the meeting got away from me. To those who attended
my apologies if the mood got too heavy for you. I can assure you it won't happen again.
An artist that I admire greatly came to the meeting last
night for the first time and it was his words that got me back on track.
Let me remind everyone who attends the meeting that this is
an opportunity to share and discuss the one thing I am sure we all have in
common and that is the love of great art and storytelling. I do not want to
veer off into a path that takes away the joy of those two things.
There were some great suggestions brought up and I intend to
implement a few of those immediately.
- If we are to continue to grow we must step up our efforts to promote the community, it was suggested that for the next meeting each person bring at least one new person to the meeting.
- Bring your favorite book or artwork by your favorite artist that you would like to discuss.
- There will be an art challenge this next meeting for those who would like to participate.
I hope to see you all next month; the next meeting will be
Thursday, November 15 at 6:30.
In the meantime please support our Xion Members who have
events going on or participating in an art event. I have listed them below.
