On Friday, November 12th Nicki and I eased on down the road to check out MSCA member Dale Martin‘s opening reception for his latest art show “Beyond The Emerald City” at Playhouse on the Square. We were running a bit behind getting to the show after grabbing some dinner at The Bayou around the corner, but were able to follow the black top road (Cooper Street) to it with a few minutes to spare!
From MSCA member and zine publisher/editor, Dale Martin:

Okay, good news/bad news…
Bad news first– since there’s been an increase of COVID the art show at the Germantown Community Theatre has been delayed a bit.
The good news– that gives anyone who wanted to participate but ran out of time a chance for a few more weeks to get their art completed and turned in.
Hey, gang-
We’ve got a new news episode of “Drawing Funny“- Episode 27 – “MSCA News Update”. Continue reading
MSCA member and Zine publisher Dale Martin and his art can be seen around town this month- virtually.
Dale has two paintings included in the new “Nasty Women Memphis : War Paint!” exhibit. Spring D. Lamb has also contributed artwork to this exhibit and says her work is the positive aspect of racial equality. This third “Nasty Women” exhibit, moved to a virtual event due to COVID-19, features over 60 artists at www.nastywomenmemphis.com in a virtual art exhibition & sale benefiting Planned Parenthood of Tennessee and North Mississippi. The show runs from October 1 until after the presidential election, closing on Friday, November 6, 2020. It serves to demonstrate solidarity among artists who identify with being a “Nasty Woman” in the face of threats to roll back women’s rights, individual rights, and reproductive rights.
