Finally. Some good venue news…

After almost six months of waiting, the Metrognome Collective has finally received notice today of its Federal-Tax-Exempt status as a not-for-profit corporation. This means we can now accept tax deductible donations from individuals, corporations and foundations. I know we havent been especially active so far in 2007, the closing of our public space was a major blow. However, we are back and very excited to begin pressing forward again. We hold out great hope for Fort Worth, Dallas and Denton’s artist communities to become better integrated, coordinated and recognized.

Our goal in the next year is to buy a building to house our studios, performance space, gallery space, workshops and more. I am going to be sending out periodic updates as we progress, but in order to receive them, and notification of public meetings, events, etc… I am going to ask you to take two minutes of your time to subscribe to our new website and mailing list.

I am not going to be sending out updates from this address any longer, so please visit www.metrognome.org and sign up. All we need is a name and email address, so it is super quick and easy.

Any metrognome inquiries can be sent to james.watkins@metrognome.org.
