A little gazebo in which we can entertain each other, reading to each other from books, passing tea cups across the coffee table is a dream space, a play space.

Art making
The feminist, the spiritual, the mystical is emerging as part of the history of art. Art no longer is defined exclusively as white and male.
It never belonged exclusively to the patriarchy.
The American Folk Art Museum is a showcase for art created by non-traditional makers and self – taught artists.
Last week, AFAM offered via Zoom a fascinating presentation in conjunction with an exhibit of Shaker creations, which has since closed.
The panel, Mystical Abstraction: Women, Spiritualism and the Arts, stands on its own. (Click above or here to enjoy on YouTube.)
We visited images created with the goal of connecting humans to the mystic or spiritual by women makers.
We learned of artists whose work informs and expands human knowledge.
We met women creators who channeled the devine.
The panel included Hilma’s Ghost a pair of collaborative artists, Sharmithsa Ray and Dannielle Tegeder and art historian and author Jennifer Higgie [The Other Side: A Journey Into Women, Art and the Spirit World]. The program was moderated by the Museum’s curator, Mathilde Walker-Billaud.

A ground breaking
Dan Dunn is an artist whose works are a multi-media mix of performance and painting.
His work involves an audience.
His studio is the venue at which he performs his art.
Painting for him is a process during which he interacts with the attendees.
On this event, he was the featured artist for the WCM ceremonial groundbreaking for their new student residence.
He sets his creation to music and offers comic miming as he paints.
The building, located at York and 74th, is projected for a 2025 opening. His rendition was handed out as a lovely party favor and souvenir of the luncheon.
