The Residents are expected to contribute bowls to the Pottery’s annual Great Bowls of Fire Chili Fundraiser,

Want
to be featured as an emerging artist on musing? All you have to do is
send me some images, a brief write up if you’d like, and a
website if you have it to [email protected] If you could put emerging
artist in the subject header of the email so it doesn’t get lost in my
spam folder that would be great. Thanks!
