In December of 2004, myself, and artists such as Ze daLuz, Pati D=92Amic=

Open Studios event.  This next incarnation will mark the 3rd Anniversary=
 of this grass-roots artist-run project, and we are grateful to a new gr=

clude Christine Haupert-Wemmer, Lisa Suarez, Jessica Radcliff, Bedonna W=
akeman, and Lord David.

If your home studio or alternative space is in one of these four downtow=
n neighborhoods, we invite you to join us for a unique arts experience. =
 Details are below on how to register through the web site at www.openst=
udioartists.org. =


Please forward this email to any artist friends you know in these four n=
eighborhoods.  Our goal is to have Open Studios grow, and offer opportun=
ities to other artists who may never have been involved, or are newly ar=
rived to our post-Katrina village.  =


Gracias, Ash=E9, and thanks =
