things happening... / by Jeff Herrity Artist

The past few months have gone by in a blink. I am one week away from finishing my first semester at George Mason University in the Arts Management graduate program. The classes were really great - especially the Finance class which taught me many things that a CFO does and just generally increased my confidence in running the financial aspect of an organization. Next semester is Finance 2 and I think that gets more into budgeting an organization. I'll be curious how that one goes. I'm also currently in the Alchemical Vessel show again at the Joan Hisoaka Healing Arts Gallery. This year we were given a cigar box to use. Mine was created at the time of David Bowie's death and is influenced creatively by his message. The show is up through May 6 at least. That is the night of the artist closing reception. It's also my birthday and John is doing a reading at the Epicure Cafe in Fairfax, which we are of course attending. Then we will rush to DC for a concert.

I'll also be in a show carated by Superwaxx, which will take place at the Fridge Gallery in June. (more info to come) I'll be doing some other shows/curating in August, and then spend half of the month in Vermont at the Vermont Studio Center on residency. For these two weeks, i'll be finishing work on my show which will open at the beginning of September at Jordan Faye Contemporary.
