The Art weekend is approaching and one can start to pick up a certain vibe in the village.
Artists are inspired and everyone is getting ready to exhibit and participate in the festivities
of the 1st weekend in May.
All artists and want-to-be-artists are sharing ideas and inspiring one another to translate
their creativity onto paper, canvas or whatever medium they use.
"Feel the Vibe" and experience art in McGregor - 30 April - 2 May.
Be Free
The Road to Nowhere,
Be at the Edge,
Peer at the Edge,
Be free.
Art at the Edge,
Feel the Vibe,
And that’s enough,
Come see.
I came and I looked,
Way over the Edge,
Over the precipice me.
I saw myself,
As part of a Game.
Art Alive.
Be Alive.
Be free.
