Last week we broke the 2000 bottle mark, yay! The entries from Oakleaf Elementary and Atlantic Coast High School put us over the top. Many thanks to Lori Wong, our dear friend from Hawaii (and fellow Cornell alum), who was visiting and found the time to be the office message-entry person for the past two weeks (in addition to bottle processor and label remover). Thanks Lori for all your help. Yes we are nuts to have bottles ALL over the house. One day it will be normal again!
There’s a great group of students at Atlantic Coast who not only collected hundreds of bottles for the project but also embellished several bottle receptacles for our library drop off locations. Many thanks to their teacher, Kelly Delaney, who graciously involved her classes in our project. Go Stingrays!
Message in a Bottle was prominently featured in the December Arbus Magazine. Many thanks to Cinda Sherman, a great supporter of the arts in Jacksonville. We hope to get the word out to more people and rally support for the project. If you haven’t seen this issue, or if you are not an Arbus “fan,” run out and get a copy, there free! I have a bunch at the studio and they are available all over town. One of the best art-related publications in town.
Here’s a new movie filmed, produced, and directed by Dorian. It takes place at MOSH during the Veteran’s Day activities. So guys and gals, did you do a bottle yet?
