Arts Council Art Chat: Copyright Issues

 August 29 (2-4pm) Art Chat will feature a conversation with Corrine Bayraktaroglu and Michael Fleishman about internet copyright issues for artists -- how to check to see where your work is being used, how to protect your work, and what can you do to fight back when your work is stolen. All are welcome to join in with their own copyright stories or tips. 

Everyone is also invited to bring art to talk about!

Poppies for Peace in Remembrance of the Children

Senior Independence Monroe and Franklin Artist participants in the Greater Cincinnati Alzheimer's Association Memories in the Making® were thrilled to make poppies for the Yellow Springs "In Remembrance of the Children; Poppies for Peace."

Thank you artists, for contributing to this meaningful project. From left to right: Darryl, Ted, LC, Rick, Bonnie, Michelle (seated), Senior Independence; Franklin. 

 Each poppy made is unique to the maker as each child is unique. The artist participants spoke of love and peace while creating their poppies and many wrote such messages on their flower. It was, and is, a heartfelt expression of love and sorrow.

The opportunity for these artists to engage, create and be a part of a public art installation of such profound message is one that each values and treasures.

 Thank you artists, for contributing to this valuable project 

Sandi Sharp Artist Facilitator

Memories in the Making is a registered trademark program provided through the Alzheimer's Association of Greater Cincinnati. It is an art program that provides creative, original, and expressive art making for those with Alzheimer's Disease and other forms of dementia.

Yellow Springs Instagram Photographers

It's always wonderful to see how others view our village, but their camera eye is often one of a visitor. Amy Hable, who lives and works in Yellow Springs, was inspired to start a hashtag #ysgram to promote a view of Yellow Springs from the perspective of someone who lives and/or works here. 
So if you are taking images around town or want to find images remember #ysgram.
