WHAT THE FORWARDIAN HAS PAUL BEEN THINKING Hey Dudes and Dudettes, I hope my words find you well. Well, what a wonderful week it has been for the arts. Holiday music, friends gathering, and getting stuff for others as the celebration of the Winter Season fills everyone with hope that the season bring to all. As you can see by the extended dates on this edition of The Forwardian Weekly Gazette, we’re taking a bit of a break. We have covered a lot of happenings that will occur during the next two weeks but there is always new information about events and creative opportunities that’s coming to our attention. We’ll be updating our website and the What The Forwardian is Happening in the Arts Facebook group soon after new items arrive. So, keep an eye out for the updates so you won’t miss a thing.

As you may also note on our publication’s dates, the next edition of the Forwardian Weekly Gazette will be published in 2019. It will be wonderful to begin a new year with you while simultaneously celebrating the current year and all that transpired with you.

Please feel free to write us and let us know how your 2018 went and what wonderful opportunities await you in 2019 as you go forward toward you creative dreams. Happy holidays to you all.

Well, that’s all from me for now. How are you? Please feel free to ask me any questions you may have about this publication, The Forwardian Arts Society, or anything at all. I promise to tell you everything. I would make a terrible spy. I look forward to hearing from you soon and I'll keep a good thought for you until then.
