Art has migrated...
Whew - yesterday we moved all of the rest of the art from my house (102 pieces in all) and also from Mike Murphy's house. Luckily, it was one of those freak February days that was 65 and sunny. Last week the art came in from the Grassroots Art Center in Lucas (thanks Rosalyn) and we got confirmation from the Kansas City Art Institute that they will be delivering a number of Jesse Howard pieces as well. (oh, and they are big and gorgeous)
Over all there will be 66 artists represented from all regions of the country, including "Hell." OK - the artists are from there, but the art represents their visions. (When I first got "serious" about collecting, I had a thing for devil art.
