THINKING THOUGHTS Hey Dudes and Dudettes, I hope my words find you well. Well, September was filled with all the wonderful festivals that signifies the completion of another Summer season. These included the Celebration of the Arts Festival in Delaware Water Gap, PA (our lead story) and Riverfest in Easton, PA. Now, the Fall Festival Season is upon us and I’m looking forward to partaking of all their wonders. These include the 18th Annual Black Bear Film Festival that takes place in Milford, PA from Friday October 20th to Sunday October 22nd. The festival has several venues in which they show films and have discussions relating to the art form. It will be in one of these venues (the Pike County Public Library to be specific) where I will be presenting the films that won awards during the 2016 Forwardian Film Festival. It starts around noon and it’s free. I hope to see you there. Speaking of films you can watch for free, The Forwardian Film Festival will be taking place this month as well. I’m very excited about it as it’ll be held the week before the Black Bear Film Festival. We’re very fortunate to have a nice variety of films to show which encompasses all genres of cinema. We’ll begin taking in art for our The Art That Dreams Are Made Of Exhibition very soon and I would like to invite those of you who are artists and/or photographers to share your wonderful talents by placing your work in the show. The festival and exhibition will run from Friday October 13th to Sunday October 15th with an Artists’ Reception scheduled for the first day of the event. It’ll be held at The Antoine Dutot Gallery and Museum in Delaware Water Gap, PA. You’ll find a prospectus within the issue of this Magazine. We’re also preparing the publication of The Forwardian Gazette’s sister magazine Forwardian which is comprised of literature and art our many friends have contributed to it. We received a nice amount of exemplary work for this upcoming issue. I can’t wait to complete the process of arranging all the articles, poetry, and images so each piece will be shown in the light it deserves and to share it with you and many others. I consider myself very fortunate that so many talented people have sent some wonderful things such as poetry, stories, images, films etc my way via The Forwardian Arts Society. I also feel very blessed to be able to partake of the many art related events I experience and share with others. And, I’m very thankful for all the people I’ve encountered that has made my journey through the arts something meaningful and enjoyably enriching. Thank 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 the 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
