Betty Rymer at the Betty Rymer

For the last seemingly ba-billion years, I've been working with my lovely collaborator Amber on a project that finally launches today.

You may remember my travels to Nashville to do research (if that's what you call staring at replicas and eating mounds of popsicles). Or perhaps you've been in my company (on FB or otherwise when I whine about massive cake baking extravaganzas.

Today bettyrymer.com launches. Take a peak (but don't stare at my html too closely, you might get dizzy).

SOUP

** my pals do this great thing. mini grants are the future. see below.




We all struggle to find the money to fund our projects – the frames, the travel expenses, the 2,000 pounds of clay. We also all have small excess incomes – the daily coffee, the small change at the end of the day, the dinner out. By combining these small excesses, we can fund projects that need more than that small excess.


We will be coming together to eat, fund an exciting project, and talk about economic sustainability for the arts.


Saturday, February 5th
7:00pm
913 E. Jefferson St.


Please bring a dish to share and $5.


If you wish to be considered for the SOUP grant, please submit a proposal of no more than 300 words by noon, Saturday, February 5th to pspaceone@gmail.com and join us that evening. Everyone attending will have an equal vote in determining who receives the grant, which will be awarded at the conclusion of the meal.
