This month I am not featuring any art that is for sale at Indigo Arts or noting museum and gallery shows of interest to me.  

Nearly three months of lockdown to limit the spread of COVID-19 has been followed by the overwhelming response to the brutal murder of George Floyd by police officers in Minneapolis.  

Philadelphia has had a "Stay at Home" order since March 23rd, due to the COVID-19 virus.  The Crane Building where Indigo Arts Gallery is located has been closed since then, but I was able to smuggle quite a few yet-to-be-photographed textiles home, and have been out in the back yard photographing on the sunny days.  Here the main hazards are some very agressive collard and kale plants!  The photographs are gradually appearing on the website, so keep checking the "Just Arrived" pages!

With all the hardship and tragedy in the world right now, with the spread of the COVID-19 virus,  I will mention one tragedy, because most of you will not have heard of it, and it impacts several of our artists in Haiti.
