Arts Event Proposal</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The last time Bjornsborg (San Antonio, for
those who don't know) hosted a Fiber Arts College was back in '98 or 2000 or
so. I'd like to see another one, and why not here again? I'm
looking into the costs of a site with several class rooms and a central room
to gather in.</FONT></DIV></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My idea is classes, no lunch provided - bring a
lunch or go offsite to get it, more classes, after classes maybe a potluck
dinner and spin/weave/fiber-in, either on site or at someone's house.
Just sitting around talking fiber, working on projects and eating
supper. Go home.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My question is, is there enough interest to go
forward with this? Is there enough interest for people to say they
will attend, not just that it's a good idea? For the one
place I've gotten prices, we would need to have at least 35 people, at $10
site. I'm continuing to look for another site.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The date I'm looking at is June
23.</FONT></DIV>
