They didn't have this when I lived in Columbia. They are trying to get an art scene going and from what Page and I saw, they are doing a fantastic job. The department store, Tapps, has been gone for several years, but the building, with its sign still intact, remains. And, it has been turned into a super gallery with its basement housing a honeycomb of artists' studios. I want one! And, one can rent one of the store front windows for a mere $25 per month. Oh, how I wish that I had some of my larger Styrofoam projects completed! One day! My friend, Susan Lenz (used to do all my framing and is now an artist extraordinaire utilizing fabric) showed us around, introducing us to all kinds of folks, both artists and innovators. We had a great time. Outside a nearby construction site stands a very long chalkboard. At the top, it reads "Before I Die...." and below are lines to write in what you'd like to do. Mine, of course, had to do with the kids and being an artist. I'm so redundant! ha-ha. The two most important things to me!!!!!
