Lottery NOW OPEN for Kusama Infinity Mirrors at the HIGH
Just a note that the Kusama Lottery is NOW OPEN! It will remain open until August 31, 2018 at midnight. It will be a random selection, not first-come, first-serve. Here is a link to the application:
Art Access Application Window is now open until Sept. 1
Also, the Art Access application is open until September 1.
**SPECIAL NOTE - Unfortunately, Art Access does not include the Kusama exhibition.
Various counties are working out ways for their students to still attend, if they win the Kusama lottery. If you’d like to work on that with me (if that’s a possibility), please let me know. Otherwise, here is the separate link for the Art Access application.
YOU get a PLC and YOU get a PLC....EVERYONE gets a PLC!
Everyone has a specially created PLC! I know you are stoked!
The details are in the documents at the bottom of this newsletter. Click the file that matches your subject and take it to your EAC and get busy - if not there by the end of today, probably by the end of Monday! It has been turned in. We are just waiting on them to enter it so you can register.
**I also sent this in an email yesterday to all EAC's, Principals, and you! Theatre folks, explanations coming soon for yours. Just know that there is one and you can register for it soon.
As with anything, if you have any questions, let me know.
Openings Still Available
We still have a few OPEN spots at the Wender & Roberts Stage in the morning for PFAA's Annual Fall Fest in Dallas on Main St. on Saturday, October 13, 2018.
We do not pay performers as we are doing the festival to raise money for our Annual Fine Arts Scholarship, but you will get free advertising, have fun, and help a worthy cause. We like to highlight LOCAL Artists and Performers.
If you can perform or know of someone who would like to perform, please have them contact Peggy Cline ASAP:
Thank you!
