Organic Arts
To all
the artists, sponsors and folks I've worked with over the years through
Organic Arts, thanks for the memories!
As of July 1 2024, Organic
Arts will cease operation and I will retire from the role as Creative
Director.
I've been an administrator for non-profits for almost
50 years and that's enough paperwork for a lifetime. I will continue
performing as I always have and continue singing until I can't anymore,
but as an independent solo act.
This is to say I'm not
retiring from performing -
I'm just closing down the formal
"business" of running a non-profit in Milwaukee.
I will maintain a list
of "Milwaukee's Finest" on my website at
organicarts.info so folks can find artists for their events. (see
below)
There are also a lot of photos on our Facebook page at:
https://www.facebook.com/OrganicArts
In the 20 years of
Organic Arts performing I've probably done around 3,000 shows and events
myself. Add to that the output of the other artists in the Organic Arts
"spectrum" and the number of public service performances would be
astounding. (We should have kept count !)
I look forward to more
years in the field, performing and sharing the arts
with you -
all...and much less "office" time.
Again, thanks!
