What am I up to?
In February I started my mural projects in the schools and just finished the last at the end of May. See also some videos and discussion at MarcioMelos.blogspot.com.
I opened my studio for visitors during the Pontiac Artists' Studio Tour on June 9, 10 and 16 17.
On the 25th of June I hung my show "Insvisible Dance" at Café 349 in Shawville (until July 22).
After
a break of 3 years, I once again opened my studio in August (4, 5, 6) for
"1 Weekend in August".
I
was pleased to present a lakeside concert of Boleros by Columbian singer Claudia
Salguero on August 5
