OH THE PEOPLE YOU MEET

It's not just in Dr. Seuss stories. One of the things I love about Artica it the individuality, the gentle weirdness of the performers and audience. Definitely not habitues of your typical suburban shopping mall. Do what you feel like but have fun. Probably not a Trump supporter in sight. It's so refreshing compared to the suit and tie stuff I have to do on weekdays.         

OH THE PEOPLE YOU'LL MEET

Articans can be fairly characterized as free spirits. That's a big part of what Artica is about. There were so many diverse and interesting people at the dinner and hang-out Thursday that it reminded me of a certain Dr. Seuss fable.   

By the way, his white pants were also tie dyed. But different.       

Articans

People who participate in Artica. They may participate in creating art, help run the show or just enjoy the spirit. Above, founder Hap Phillips. Below, artists at work, artists at leisure, and friends and family. I'll show you what the clown did with a chainsaw later in the week.
