WHAT THE FORWARDIAN HAS PAUL BEEN THINKING Hey Dudes and Dudettes,

LET’S SHARE SOME MEMORIES.

I hope my words find you well.

For those of you who sit by your computer waiting for our weekly publication, we are sorry for not sending you last week’s edition of The Forwardian Gazette. Life was pretty crazy in Forwardian land and we got caught up in the craziness. However, we’re back to report it’s been a great two weeks for the arts and we’re all the more crazier for it. been to a modest number of events and we’re gearing up to go to some more this week.

The past two weeks have included some festivals and lots of art receptions with a number of events happening on the same day. We didn’t get to everything but the ones we wound up attending left us in a state of awe and wonder. We never fail to be touched by the creativity and the love for the arts we encounter and we find ourselves fortunate enough to experience the offerings they present. We remain humbled by their talents and fortitude.

We’ve been busy getting our film festival together as we’ve received some new cinematic endeavors to explore. We’re eager to initiate some new projects during the coming year and we’re still exploring dates and locations so we can enjoy each others company and ideas when we get together in March. If you have any ideas in this regard, please feel free to share them. We’ll be sharing the information with you when things are solidified. We hope you join us at that time. Let’s Art. 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.

Going Forwardian with you Paul Adam Smeltz The Forwardian Arts Society
