Dear Friends,
June 2021 - how can that be? Time seems to be speeding up since New York started to relax its Covid-19 restrictions and now, it's full speed ahead into summer. Yes, the weather hasn't been quite so summery this past week, but just wait: "flaming June" is on the way this weekend.
How will you stay cool? Why not spend time with art? Studio visits with social distancing and a Zoom lecture are listed below. Plus - write to me about your memories of the Met.
