Moore Square history project

Lee Moore presents to students 

I got to spend some time Thursday with that great art lady, Lee Moore, as she worked with students at the Moore Square Museum Magnet middle school.  The students learn about the history of the area around their downtown school and then create art and documentation, which is displayed in local storefronts. This day they were preparing collage images for tiles, some of which will be used in an outdoor installation. I will be folllowing this admirable project ( http://www.cam.ncsu.edu/programs-educational-moore.html ) and hopefully posting at RDUwtf about Lee and her myriad inputs into Raleigh culture.

Welcome to Raleigh Rambles (under construction!)

This is the highly impulsive but long contemplated start of a personal blog after joining one as an arts writer and starting one as a nature writer.  I’ve been wanting a wide open space to throw things up, and today I wanted to toss up this size 72!  Epistemology, Noam Chomsky, Coleridge, SF and much much more will surely follow.

I just posted at RDUwtf about Rodney Marsh’s new space on Person Street.  This is a photo that didn’t run in the post – so I had to share it here.  Size 72!

Marsh Woodwinds has some very interesting spaces upstairs from the music shop.
