Declaring victory

A wise man once said, "Nothing succeeds like the appearance of success," to which we might add, "Quit while you appear to be ahead."

ARTWORKS appears to be saved. HHG appears to be deflected towards other plans and projects. We will learn a little more - maybe - between now and July when HHG's option to pitch a final plan expires. One feels confident enough in the outcome to cease blogging regularly.

Tricia's press of spring projects and my vacation plans spell an end to regular posting here. If trouble returns, we'll be back. (Signs of trouble can be reported to keepartreal at yahoo dot com). Meanwhile, congratulations to a community of artists and teachers who came together to save something irreplaceable.

We urge the city to make permanent arrangements preserving ARTWORKS.
