The “COllage” exhibition at the Arvada Center in COlorado presented an opportunity to project all the images in my 2024 diary sequentially. (I love how visitors always look for their birthdays!) This wide-ranging show is on view through Nov 9. Grateful to be showing several series of my collages 🖤

Start small…

As a historian, I can certify that we are in the bad times. But bad times eventually end.
In the meantime:
• Figure out a small way to help someone
• Figure out a small way to fight back
• Figure out a small place to find joy
• Figure out a small way to grow and thrive

And do it often.

This art by Adam Zyglis, though...

www.adamzyglis.com
A political cartoon by artist Adam Zyglis depicting four people standing amid the rubble of several marble column working together to raise a giant number two pencil like a flag pole. The preamble to the constitution flaps in the breeze on the top of the pencil, like a flag on a flag pole. The people raising the flag are labled as artists, writers, and comedians. The pose and image is a reference to the classic photograph and statue from World War 2 of U.S. Marines raising the flag on Iwo Jima.
