Happy New Year community arts partners, friends and blog viewers!<\/strong><\/p>\n While I don’t make New Year’s resolutions, I do make commitments to new activities periodically through the year whenever inspiration strikes!<\/p>\n Inspiration did indeed strike at a few points last week\u2014even in between bouts of a side-splitting cough (no joke, I tore a muscle!<\/em>), a rerun of Mrs. Doubtfire and hikes up Turkey Roost Road in knee-high snow with my dog jumping up all over me. Nothing like a good Canadian winter to get the creative juices flowing!<\/p>\n Anyhow, one of my new commitments is to write a blog post each Friday that summarizes the activities and new things we learn about here at ArtBridges\/ToileDesArts over the week from our community arts friends and partners from across the country and to ask you for your thoughts too!<\/p>\n I talked with my colleagues, Cora and Lisa, about this the other day and they think it’s a great idea\u2014in general, we’d like to post more stories from the field!<\/p>\n So, here we go!:<\/p>\n How about you?<\/em> Are you inspired with any new commitments in your community arts work or in art-making this new year? Write in and tell me!: sconnell@artbridges.ca<\/p>\n -Seanna Connell, Happy New Year community arts partners, friends and blog viewers!
