Egophobia
Hello All:
I came home yesterday to find out that Mural Arts had, in fact, received the
grant from The Heritage Foundation, therefore the individual artist grants are
now funded. The Journeys South magic lantern project is a “go”! I will be
sending out a Focal Plane soon with more details, but I wanted my family, close
friends and colleagues to know now.
Setting the stage for things like this to happen is a group effort. Many of you
have been co-conspirators. I could not have done this without your generous
support.
Cheers and a plenitude of thanks,
RA
