Want to help me with a project I’m doing? (Its seems like it might be your kind of thing)
I’ve got a site specific public art installation I am working on. It is in an abandoned lot under the CTA (I’m in chicago now.) First, I had a simple message: imagine. Next, I received 500 flowers that were donated because it is the end of the growing season and they failed to sell. The land has also failed to sell, so there is the theme of failed capitalism. But I want to inspire people, and do something with the failure.
So, I’ve made a garden design, I’ve split it up into a grid with 120 plots. I am inviting people to design a plot, I want to engage other people in this work. Sounds cool. More after the jump.

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
