On Thursday, September 6 from 6 to 8 pm, Borderland Arts will return to their fall schedule, meeting in Bay West College’s lower level Art Room.

A short informal business meeting will begin the evening’s activities followed by one Artist’s Journey. Please accompany Borderland Arts member Cyndi Safstrom as she takes us along her multi-faceted artist path. Cyndi will bring “show and tell” items created during her journey’s meanderings. You can find more information about her most recent creations at be-a-doll.com and on Etsy.

Cyndi says, “I have enjoyed crafts and art my entire life, and have sculpted for the past decade. I love making dolls and action figures of everyday heroes.” Questions are always welcome, and if you would like to bring show and tell items yourself, they will be welcome, too.

We hope to see you on the 6th, and if you have any suggestions for classes you would like to take, please bring them with you. We are open to all ideas. New members are always welcome!

Borderland Visual Artists have been invited to collaborate with the Marquette Poets Circle this fall.

If you will recall our Borderland meetings in April and May involved local writers, Genean Granger and Stella Hansen, who read their poetry as the visual artists reacted to their choice of poems and in their own media. Now we look forward to a collaboration with the Marquette Poets Circle. To see what their group created as a gallery exhibit last year, please visit https://janeenpergrin.wixsite.com/mpcgallery

As the summer flows, and your artwork takes form, remember to keep back one or two pieces that you might submit for a poet to read into and to react. Learn more as this project evolves by attending the Borderland meetings.
