2 INK SPAWN The Ink People incubates diverse programs and fledgling organizations. Watch this space for detailed descriptions of our many programs. INK Call SPAWN Libby at LOGO for further information. The flow of DreamMaker projects has slowed considerably in recent months. I don t know if it s a function of the economy, but I can t believe people don t have dreams anymore. I have been talking with some folks, but they seem reticent to commit. The Ink People s fiscal year begins on April 1st each year, so we just completed the FY. Somehow, we managed to be in the black for the year, but not by much. Now, we just need to keep working on the deficit we incurred the year before, and we ll be completely in the black. Since Tanya left for the Blue Ox Millworks, our event production is much reduced, although the MARZ production teams are working hard to fill in the gaps. And you may have noticed that Blue Ox has been putting on events like crazy. No mystery there. Although we miss Tanya, we re happy she s able to help Blue Ox out. If you haven t met Carrie yet, please stop by the office Tues-Fri from 9-5 and say hello. She is settling in nicely, and will be running the Holiday Gift Fair this November at the Adorni Center. She is an accomplished dancer and the creator of Monster Pillows! In the North Coast Open Studios guidebook for 2011, which will be available at the NCOS opening on May 7 at the Adorni Center, I ve outlined a vision for creating a community cultural center with multiple sites and venues to serve our needs as well as those of other cultural organizations. If you are affiliated with a group that has space needs, please contact me so we can begin putting together a cohesive vision.

6 Events/Miscellaneous A creative person herself, Ward s mother was born in Japan. Her admiration for traditional Japanese arts has inspired Amy s style as well. My art is my way of expressing my feelings in a healthy way. If I don t draw, after a period of time I feel bottled-up inside. Visual representation also helps me connect with people, and helps me gain common ground with my peers, says Ward Smug s Pizza will take part in Arts Alive! on Saturday, May 7th from 6-9 p.m. It is located at 626 2nd Street, Eureka.
