PAE Postcard June 2005

International Arts Leader Lily Yeh in Syracuse
On Thursday, June 2nd, PAE hosted a community symposium with Lily Yeh.  The attendance was an enthusiastic and diverse gathering of the CNY business, neighborhood, social service, education, and art communities.  Lily delivered a message of inspiration to continue making art a part of life and learning in our community, and is a great source of guidance. Now, with communication stronger among all of us, we continue to do the good work.  We are grateful to the Gifford Foundation and our advertising and table sponsors for support for this event.  There will be two follow-up sessions to continue the dialogue this fall and next spring.  If you have interest in participating or if you would like a copy of the publication "Warrior Angel" (a synopsis of Lily's mission), email Georgia Popoff or call her at 234.9911.

Summer Refreshment
Summer is a great time for those back-burner ideas to simmer.  Your brain has a little time to stretch out, meander into new territory, discover fresh perspectives.  Be ready for a little inspiration to take into the fall - opportunity favors the prepared mind.  Art$TART grant applications for the 2005-06 school year will be due October 21st.
