The Powerhouse of Passion

Hard to like me
Have to love me
Hero

The Isolated Lover,
The Sweet Sharing Antagonist,
The Enthusiastic Slacker Activist

A freight train of raw emotion

The Tenacious Lover-
The Weeping Wanderer,
The Wiley Wayfarer,
The Worn Willing...
- The Smiling and Awkward Vagabond

Last week, I took a break from programming & composing in my studio, and caught up with friends about artistic opportunities, and recent successes and works in progress. A multi media artist friend told me very enthusiastically, about an opportunity to submit photographs for an inclusion into an artistic concept . After my initial enthral, I made a few calls, talked turkey, and started to plough through my own archives of digital pictures, some of which I considered artistic and individualistic enough to enter. I cropped, altered and re-jigged about a dozen or so, to make them entry ready, and uploaded them to the requistie private server space. Later that day, I ended up in a pro photgraphic studio, to catch up with another friend who was snapping a five piece band.

The Taproot Foundation in partnership with MetLife Foundation, our Lead
ServiceGrant Sponsor for the Arts in 2010-2011, announces the
opportunity for high-potential performing arts organizations to receive
capacity building grants. Metlife Foundation sponsorship is restricted to
only performing arts organizations, which is why this makes this
an excellent opportunity for your organization to apply to one of our
many capacity building service grants.

Performing arts organizations who meet our basic eligibility criteria
have a strong chance to be selected for a capacity building grant which
ranges in value between $45,000 and $70,000. These Service Grant projects
provide a new set of tools for those organizations striving, now more
than ever, to do more with less.
