OK, OK… so, I’m throwing out the bait. But it ain’t bad bait. When you sign-up to The Journal, or if you’re already signed up to this newsletter, and you respond, in twenty-five words or less, why you think art matters: you might win ‘The Arrival.’ It’s easy-peasy, no strings attached and you can UN-subscribe anytime you wish. Everyone is eligible, except anyone related to me by blood (Sorry, family) or marriage…and forget that. We have three, very creative, independent judges looking for something to do. Give it a shot…and please share with your friends.
