Day 7 - 2017 Piccolo Spoleto Outdoor Art Exhibition

Merit Award Winner!

Congratulations to Steven Hyatt

for

"83 Meeting Street"

(but I think I took the title down wrong

as this is "69 Meeting Street", one of

Charleston's historic homes that I

frequently talk about in my Tour Guide Life)

BREAKING NEWS!

(ok, so this doesn't have anything to do with the art show but it IS important)

Melissa Whaley Graduates from First Baptist High School!

Congratulations, Melissa!

Back to the show:

Regarding the case of the purloined pink purse, the artists who were going to recreate the EPISODE from yesterday are still a little wired up, and we all agreed that we were just happy Pat got her purse back with almost everything still there. So you'll just have to use your imagination from yesterday's write-up.

On top of all the drama on the Meeting Street side of the show, the Calhoun Street side has its own particular drama, namely "the Growler"...The Growler is threatening and uses a lot of profanity.  As a city, we don't need this in our public parks.  We think the problem has been somewhat mitigated however because a video of The Growler has been turned into the police department and we understand a trespass warrant is going to be issued on the The Growler. Any day now.

Little Gail

Little Gail is a petite and popular Art Sitter at the Piccolo Spoleto Outdoor Art Exhibition.  Little Gail has been traumatized the past few days on Calhoun Street by The Growler.  In fact, Little Gail has bravely come forward in an effort to remove The Growler from Marion Square (which is proof she is not an anonymous source). Or at the very least to stop The Growler from growling.  She brought this to my attention yesterday on my way to Starbucks, and my question was, "well, why don't you growl back?" Well, part of her "growling" back was the re-creation of The Growler.  Simply acting it out was therapeutic, and while these type of traumas are not easily healed, I'm glad to say that Little Gail is getting stronger every day.

Obviously, life as an Artist is never dull.
