Hello Beautiful Artists! 
 
We have a call for entry for water-related paintings, drawings, collage, photography or sculpture for The Allure of Water Art Show Sept. 11-13 at the Wimberley Community Center. This will be a joyful weekend where the community will come together to celebrate water!  This will be part of the F.L.O.W. (For The Love of Water) event.

************************************************************************************************************************************

Water is as close to being magic as anything on earth. Sacred ceremonies all over the world include water as the active element. Our Love of water is not just based on the need to drink it or die—it is both recreation and cleansing for mind, body and spirit. Water also drives economies. It lends its energies to the creation of power—both to run our devices and to run our societies. We must find a way to blend all these aspects of water into our lives if we are to be sustainable—as individuals, as communities and as societies.

The purpose of this event is a celebration of the allure of water and its role in our quality of life; awareness of the water cycle and how it affects decisions on water use, the sustainability of available water; and actions people can take individually and collectively to conserve water use, seek the best sources of water, manage toward a healthy water cycle, and decide wisely how this shared resource is best used.
