IMPOSSIBLE THINGS HAPPEN EVERY DAY! 

"Impossible is just a word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. 
Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing." 

~ Muhammad Ali

Since May of 2012, an idea was born to teach a curriculum that would make us better thinkers, better workers, and better activists for our community. Not everyone believed in the idea and even those who thought it a good idea, had reservations. But, someone gave enough credence to the person with the idea to let them try and try become something more. And because someone believed and supported it, this person was able to see the ideas of others and nurture them as well. Over the last few years, the IMPOSSIBLE became POSSIBLE, the POSSIBLE becomes PROBABLE and we know what happens to true PROBABILITIES ... they become INEVITABLE. 

What are the stories that came from believing? Those who believed, worked it and became something MORE. The MORE is what we will do for the next 3 months and if you believe in us, we will finish our time here with a bang. June is a month of envisioning your future, and we hope to incubate OUR HOUSE II in preparation of that MORE. 

A new series of classes start on the 11th with VISIONING YOUR FUTURE, a creative way to think of one's present and see one's future. A donation of $20 provides you with all the material necessary to create your own visioning board. The sessions will be taught by Visioning Guru SheRYL DeWalt. For more information contact us at (713) 485-9214.  

More information is coming for the WHAT ABOUT CUBA? exhibition with Ashura Bayan and Nadir Nadiri on Sunday, June 26th. Cuba holds the current fascination for many here in America and two artists will help us sift through that fascination with wonderful photographs and memories. You don't want to miss it.  

The last week in June will be the week-long peace camp (PEACE CAMP HOUSTON) at SHAPE Community Center, June 27th through July 1st. The event is FREE for children who register at (713) 485-9214. The time is 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and lunch is provided. Other peace camps are in Houston and many of our artists will be teaching and/or volunteering at all five.
