the bova effect: taking flight

recently i had the good for­tune to attend a work­shop with ken bova, an incred­i­ble artist and professor..while there were MANY take­aways, two in par­tic­u­lar took hold of me in an unshak­able have to act on right now kind of way…the first was the impor­tance of cul­ti­vat­ing com­mu­nity and the sec­ond was action, more specif­i­cally work pro­duces work so get going…for me these two items dove­tailed in a way that became crys­tal clear i needed to curate a national art show {noth­ing like jump­ing into the deep end, right?!} so as the notion mar­i­nated i reached out to my favorite group of cre­ative dream­ers and schemers, my fly­ing lessons class­mates, and posed the question…um whose in? and with a resound­ing YES a show is born:

tak­ing flight: a curated col­lec­tion of amaz­ing creatives

so now the work of pro­duc­ing work begins and the tiny seed of thought is bloom­ing brightly…so keep your eyes peeled and get ready for a show that will knock your socks off…a beau­ti­ful nar­ra­tive of com­mu­nity, cre­ativ­ity and love with the com­mon theme of grow­ing our wings mid flight and soar­ing high!
