Illnesses, a move, and well...life have had us on a bit of a hiatus for several months. Sorry to have been off the grid. We have all been continuing to make art though, and hope you have too.

Stay tuned for upcoming events such as more Moonshine Artlabs in the Backyard, chalk art fun in the heights, and more!

Also, some of us are taking discounted commissions for Christmas gift portraits starting Monday!! Message us if you would like to have yourself or loved ones immortalized in original art. The prices will leave you pleasantly surprised.

Dear artists and friends, I am sorry to say that we have come to a real estate impass on the new gallery, and are currently scouting new venues for the Vo**ur Exhibit. We will make a formal announcement of the new location and date just as soon as we can. The show WILL go on! Thanks again for your continued patience.

We have not sent acceptances out yet because we have been still dealing with making sure the space is ready. I plan to have this done by tomorrow evening, and art drop off will likely be on saturday. Thanks for your continued patience!

We finally have a new date for the opening!!! It is April 6th! We had to wait to send acceptances just in case we had a different space to work with. Now we will be getting them out over the coming week and scheduling drop off. Thanks so much for your patience!!!!

Dear Moonies and Friends,

The past 16 months have been an amazing beginning to an amazing journey. So much so in fact, we have had to take a couple of months' down time to begin planning all the wonderful happenings, shows, programs and exhibition opportunities that 2013 has in store for Backyard Moonshine. We are exceedingly grateful to all of you for sharing your talents, your hard work, your delightful personalities, and your spirits with us--and our great hope is that you will continue to do so as we move forward in the coming year.

Among the many items on our agenda are more exhibits at The SKIN Gallery (of course), the exhibition of artwork on an ongoing basis at local business, a chalk mural fundraising festival, a holiday art market, art-based volunteer projects with youth, informal creative salon-style gatherings, and much much more. This will all be made infinitely more awesome by your participation--so stay connected, pretty please! More to come soon.

Meanwhile, feel free to send any ideas or questions to us at [email protected].

Most importantly, have a happy, healthy, safe, and creative holiday season!

Keep making art while the moon shines!

Smooches all around,
--joie
