Running

Today I made a quick trip to the Renwick Gallery, http://renwick.americanart.si.edu , it is a small contemporary art museum that is part of the Smithsonian museums in Washington.

There were many spectacular pieces in wood and I thought of https://www.blipfoto.com/Pilipo and his woodwork.

This piece titled "Running" is by Ron Layport, who spent 40 years in the advertising world before taking up woodworking. Here are more samples of his amazing work: http://collectorsofwoodart.org/artist/bio/18

Somber day at the conference, listening to the new lay of the land. The National Skills Coalition leaders outlined the best case and worst case scenarios in terms of education, labor, and human services. Even the best cases look pretty dismal in terms of policies and funding that supports education, training and supports to train workers and bring them into living wage jobs.

Tomorrow's sessions are a deeper dive into advocating for your state's education, human service and workforce programs.
