WHAT THE FORWARDIAN HAS PAUL BEEN THINKING Hey Dudes and Dudettes,
LET’S SHARE SOME MEMORIES.
I hope my words find you well. What a week it has been. We’ve been to a modest number of events and we’re gearing up to go to some more this week. It’s good to be getting back into the swing of things and we anticipate many more wonderful opportunities to partake in what the arts has to offer every soul that it touches. As we’ve said last week and it remains an eternal truth, “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’ve been busy as well. We’ve updated our website’s page regarding The Forwardian Film Festival and it now includes embedded articles about our past events and the revised Submission Guidelines that includes the amount of the cash prizes we will present to those film that will be determined to worthy to receive them. Our film pickers are eagerly watching the submission that are coming in as they help choose what films will be shown in this year’s festival. And, the invitation remains open to those of you who would like to either submit their films and/or help us to select which films will be included in this year’s festival. We mentioned in last week’s weekly publication of the Forwardian Gazette that we would like to initiate some new projects during the coming year and we could use your help. So, we’re 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. Again, 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
