Ok are you ready for it?

My collaborator and talented composer friend, Zane Harker and I, have great news. Our project proposal was accepted and we will be receiving a grant to enable our fundraiser for the local women’s shelter to come to fruition! We have been secretly working on this project for a year and now we finally have gotten to a place where we can say with absolute certainty that we are going to be able to turn our dreams into a reality and hopefully we’ll be able to create an event that is impactful on the community through art and music.

The event will consist of open viewing of the final paintings that I have created and music that Zane has composed around the theme of struggle and redemption. We will also have a short forum where speakers from the Center for Women in Crisis and BYU’s Women’s Studies Program will be able to talk about women’s issues in the local Provo/Orem area. We will also have some very special musical guests, including Jennifer Blosil and Rachelle Call and Jessie Clark Funk.

The event will take place early in December. We will let you know as soon as we get the date pinned down which will be very soon.

Thank you so much for your help and support in enabling this project to succeed and we look forward to sharing our journey with you over the next two months and hopefully you all will be able to help this event succeed, but most importantly we hope that we’ll all be able to work together to make our community a better place!

Thank you,

Normandie Luscher and Zane Harker
