Ruth Hasn't Been Writing

Sorry my friends, I've been extra nuts lately and writing so much that I haven't had time to write for myself. But I'm back. My target is five times a week to talk about what I'm doing, thinking, wishing and dreaming. Here's some bullet points of writing assignments RIGHT NOW. I'm doing the package for honoree Keenen Ivory Wayans Entertainment Icon award at the American Black Film Festival. I'm writing the show for the Heart & Soul Awards next month in DC. I am working like a maniac trying to pull all the elements together for my exhibit opening at the California African American Museum July 14, called "Women: Game Changers, Less Known, Here Celebrated." Seventy women in ten categories including She Heals, She Got Game, Sisters-in-Arms, Museum Women, High Flyers, Mavericks...and more. The number of women who have achieved amazing things surprises Ruth Adkins Robinson.

Art Inside Your Head

The reception tonight for "Inside My Head" Intuitive Artists of African Descent was a big success. The 32 artists were so thrilled to be exhibited at CAAM. They are so deserving. There are artists that I collect and artists I can't afford. Toni Scott's masterful bust from carrera marble is a major piece, but I can't muster its $50,000 price tag. I am especially crazy about Charles Dickson who has a work in acrylic that sits in the corner of Bill and June Pajuad's house that I'd pay anything for, but it's not for sale. I'm gonna get me a piece by Dickson, you watch.
It's been a great day and I'm due in edit at 10 in the morning... so i'm out. --Ruth Adkins Robinson
