These are dry times. Summer slips away faster than you can catch it – a dime down the drain. The sky hangs damp and icy today. Across the globe, powerful little men toy with the world’s future like it’s a game of chicken. Hurricanes have ravaged large parts of our earth. Families will suffer the effects for years to come. Terrorists won’t let London sleep.
This planet can get so ugly. So broken. So disordered. So many of our mirrors are shattered.
There is order in beauty. A divine order, I believe, but whatever your theology you can feel it. The affirmation of disparate parts falling into place.
Jennifer Berkenbosch’s Cultivar matters because the world needs beauty today. We need to be reminded that there is goodness. There is a solid bed beneath this wild river.
You will spend two hours twelve times today. Four times, if you're lucky, you will be asleep. Another four you'll be at work. Maybe another two hours hold you in a slow-moving car. Two hours can be easily whiled away watching a movie. Running errands. Cooking and eating.
You choose the way you spend your hours. What if you chose to give them to someone else?
This is the part where I tell you how important it is to volunteer, and how you can give that time right here at Bleeding Heart Art Space.

OK. It's zero hour. Time to get final details sorted for Bridge Songs TEN. We still need plenty of volunteer help and volunteers get in free!
There are plenty of shifts available, ranging from set up to tear down to hanging a show to gallery hosting to food service or cleanup. Or ticket taking.

Last month our gallery walls were every colour in the rainbow, thanks to Borys Tarasenko's bold black brush strokes and your felt pen skills. It was an awesome month. Now we have another show ahead, and there is so much work to show that we absolutely need some nice, quiet walls to start.
I'm hoping you can help.
