Pix from TAPAS

Well, the TAPAS show was fantastic though LOTS of work, which is why I haven’t posted pix until now. But here is a peek at the visual arts. We couldn’t do photos during the performances as the flash could potentially interrupt and startle the dancers, singers, and poets, but rest assured, they were GREAT. For a visual artist that labors long and hard to make a piece and then hang it, it was so refreshing to see visual performers that get instant gratification. Yes, yes, yes, I know they have done MUCH work to get to that point, it just feels different to what we visual folks get. I mean, has anybody given you a standing ovation? See what I mean. It’s just different. And bravo to you if you HAVE received a standing ovation at one of your shows. WHOO HOO to you!!!! The visual artists included in the show were: Jeremy Chandler, Suzanne Camp Crosby, Jason Fondren , Taylor Ikin, Phyllis McEwen, Donna Duke Morrison, Kim Radatz, Jon Rodriguez.

Getting ready for the TAPAS show

We, the Artist Advisory Committee of Hillsborough County, are in the last minute flurry of details that always happen at the last minute. Not big stuff, just a little change here, and another one there, good changes, that let you know you are tweaking the show to perfection. Well, maybe not quite perfection, but as Vince Lombardi said, “We are going to relentlessly seek perfection knowing full well that we will not find it, because nothing is perfect. But we are going to relentlessly seek it, because in the process we will find excellence.” So there you have it. It might not be a perfect show, but I’m betting it’ll be an excellent one. Come see for yourself.
