MAY 24th – 30th

WHAT THE FORWARDIAN HAS PAUL BEEN THINKING Hey Dudes and Dudettes, I hope my words find you well.

Well, What a week it has been to enjoy some incredibly beautiful weather partaking all the creative community had to offer. As you can see, we didn’t go to too many places but the venues we did visit exceptional ones filled with song, celebration, and good friends to share it with. The greatest aspect of these occurrences is we experienced the pleasure of meeting some of you there. What a joy it was to see you and share our love for the arts with one another.

As you can also see by reading this edition of our Weekly Gazette, there are lots more to be enjoyed this week and during the near future. We are working on the June Issue of our Monthly Version of The Forwardian Gazette and we hope to have it available next week. We’ve been distributing the publication to several locations where individuals can pick up a copy and read it at their leisure. We hope you’ll enjoy reading it.

On the Forwardian front, the submission deadline for The Forwardian Film Festival will occur in around next weeks on Saturday June 1st. So, if you or someone you know would like to have their work entered for consideration, now would be a good time to do it. We would be honored to receive it. 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.
