February 1st – 7th
WHAT THE FORWARDIAN HAS PAUL BEEN THINKING Hey Dudes and Dudettes, I hope my words find you well. As the first month of a new year comes to a close, we would like to look forward to a wonderful future that has already sent encouraging echoes to the present and recent past. We met with a small number of experiences this month which gave us a moment to find some recuperative relaxation. But, we’re eager to engage with all the wonders and activities the arts will have to offer in the coming months. We expect 2019 to be a year full of art and all that it brings to enhance the human experience. We hope to see you during the adventures we embark upon and that we’ll share them together. We hope to continue our contributions to the arts and the opportunities all of the various disciplines offers the human spirit to embrace during the remainder of the year and beyond. This includes our 2019 Forwardian Film Festival which you and those you know are invited to either submit their films and/or help us to select which films will be included in this year’s festival. We also will continue to provide you with news about what is going on throughout the creative community so you can partake and/or participate in its numerous offerings made known through the publication of The Forwardian Gazette. We’ll also be publishing another issue our long awaited Literary and Arts Magazine Forwardian which will have the creative works of writers, poets, photographers, and artists throughout the Northeast PA area and beyond. This publication has given many a place to share their talents while providing those who embrace new words and ideas through their experience of our magazine. We would like to initiate some new projects during the coming year and, like the film festival and our publications, we could use your help. So, to that end, we are planning a get together in March to explore with one another how our fellowship can enhance its goals to Encourage, Support, and Love the artistic community. We want to learn of and from your ideas and insights. The Forwardian Arts Society is something wonderful. But we can never forgo any opportunity to explore who we are to become more that who we
are. As we develop a site and exact time for the March get together to occur, we’ll share the information with you. 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
