NEWS
Happy Democracy, Everybody! (Those who missed it, please get out and vote next time!)
Local election news I am thrilled about is our friend Karen Bramblett’s election to Plymouth Meeting Council! By a resounding 10 points! Karen retired from her post as Prothonotary of PA Superior Court a few years ago. She decided to run for office after the results of the Presidential election of 2016. Congratulations, Karen, you are an example to us all!
Have you been to Galleries at Moore to see (and hear) the Loomstrument?
“Loomstrument” is a collaboration between Mary Smull on the loom and Chris Powell on electronics? Here’s a link to the music triggered by the interaction between the two of them. Look closely and you will see that Mary handles the loom barefoot, just a small detail, but lends some atmosphere.

Hi artists,
We’re curious about how you manage your digital life. We’d love to hear your thoughts on our Un/Distracted survey.
And we’re hosting a workshop called Un/Distracted: Making Art in the Age of Interruption.
How do we maintain artistic focus and still answer all our emails?
How do we resist distraction and interruption, stay solvent in the “attention economy?”For years, we’ve been hearing from artists who are overwhelmed by the demands of email and social media. We also hear from artists who manage their attention with creative interventions and tools. We will share findings from our Un/Distracted survey, discuss tools and tactics for finding balance, and finally solve everybody’s email crisis.
