I have some hard-to-announce news to share. Silver Bella, a Mixed Media Art Event is being cancelled for this Fall. I tell you this with a heavy heart.
As you must know, the economy is not that great right now. Things are really tight for a lot of people. That plus the rising costs of hotel/catering in this town only makes it tougher to make this Event launch in the way it deserves. The hard truth is that is just isn't feasibly possible. Am I sad about it? Absolutely. More than you could ever imagine. Can I change it? No.
Silver Bella has been a huge part of my life for over 5 years, and I will certainly miss creating with the many people I've become friends with over those years. It's never been an easy endeavor, but it's always been worth it. I have always loved hostessing this Event. Silver Bella has exceeded my wildest dreams.
I am so grateful for every single facet of the Event each year. The friends I have made, other friendships that have bloom from kindred spirits, the beautiful artwork, the creativity in the air (and glitter), the anticipation of it all, the artistic growth I witness from so many students...and so much more.
Those of you who have registered, thank you for supporting Silver Bella! I wish I had better news to share! Truly, your support means so much to me. Registration fees returned shortly.
Maybe there will be a Silver Bella at another time, only time will tell!
