Wiki Who??? Wiki How???

I am tickled to see my name listed on Wikipedia among the visual artists who have studios at Erector Square in New Haven, Connecticut!  It's a wonderful list of outstanding colleagues - a huge thank you to whomever took their time to not only include the artists on the Wikipedia page, but to also link each artist's website, as well.  A time-consuming gesture!  And very much appreciated.  Thank you, thank you!

You can find the link by either googling "Erector Square" or by clicking this Link - Erector Square - Wikipedia.

Here is a bit of the text:

2022 Connecticut Sea Grant - I WON!!!!

https://seagrant.uconn.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/1985/2017/03/CTSG-logo.jpg 

Two months ago, I applied for the Connecticut Sea Grant for the funding year 2022 - 2023.  I've had my eye on this program for a long time and I have followed grant winners over the years.  I always hoped to apply, and this year I decided to go for it!  

And..........THIS, in my inbox....

Connecticut Sea Grant (CTSG) has now concluded the review of submissions to its Arts Support Awards Program for this year.   The review was conducted by an independent Arts Award Review Panel.  I am very pleased to inform you that your project proposal, “Bloom: A Flourish in Long Island Sound” was selected for funding.  

What?!  Oh my gosh!!!!!!

I am thrilled to now be a part of this amazing program.  

You can read more about Connecticut Sea Grant (CTSG) here.  

And you can read the Press Release HERE.

I'll be posting more about my project soon. Stay tuned!
