Great news!

Two great things happened yesterday.

First!
I had a meeting at one of the Chicago libraries. They have a section of their library leading into a conference room that they allow local artists to hang their works. The woman in charge liked my paintings and gave me the mid-July to mid-October slot! It's free, the library isn't involved aside from lending me the space, so if anything sells I get all of the profit. I also have to hang my own pieces and promote them, but I will be able to learn from my friend who has the mid-April t mid-July slot. I also think it is an excellent way for me to begin showing my art in a very low pressure situation. I am very excited.

Second!
Yesterday I received the news that my roommate and I were accepted for the apartment that we both really wanted. We'll be able to begin moving in April. We need to be out of our current apartment by the end of April, so I think it will be an "easy" move.

I will try to send out new address notices or email as soon as possible.
