BLOGGER NOTE: Nice to see some "spotting" of downtown's small wonders - a gallery in an historic home

Don't mean to be derelict-in-my-self-appointed-duty to keep at least one eye on the City of Mesa-owned Mesa Arts Center, but even after 14 years the downtown Arts-and-Culture scene is not quite yet "flourishing"

Like most things year-after-year It could be.

And it could maybe sometime soon get to be self-supporting
not operating with a shortfall in revenues of $5M every year since it opened in 2005 at a cost of $100,000,000.
Just one more thing we are hoping for here in "The Old Donut-Hole"
so let's have a movie about The Life of Art On Earth to Kick-Off the 2019 Season Festival!

A team of artists and activists exposes the hidden world of extinction with never-before-seen images that will change the way we see the planet. Two worlds drive extinction across the globe, potentially resulting in the loss of half of all species. The international wildlife trade creates bogus markets at the expense of creatures that have survived on this planet for millions of years. And the other surrounds us, hiding in plain sight — a world that the oil and gas companies don’t want the rest of us to see. Using covert tactics and state-of-the-art technology, the Racing Extinction team exposes these two worlds in an inspiring affirmation to preserve life as we know it.
