Featured artists at FEAST 3

Laura Kepner Laura is a writer and founder of the Safety Harbor Writers and Poets group, which hosts talented local wordsmiths for open mics and workshops across the area. Laura also teaches writing at the library, at the museum, and this summer she will be teaching a summer camp through the City for adolescents learning the art of good reporting and journalism. Laura is seeking FEAST support to create Safety Harbor’s first Writers and Poets Conference, which will feature not only local artists but food from local restaurants as well. Starting small in the first year, she hopes to grow the project into a way for hundreds of folks to come and experience the creative culture of Safety Harbor. “I want to offer a way, even if it’s the smallest spark, for people who attend such a conference to begin their own journeys into writing.” - Laura

Heather Richardson Heather is a mosaic specialist who uses glass, ceramic tile, and found objects to create mosaics on tables, walls, flowerpots etc. She is active in the Safety Harbor community as a public artist and teacher and she is seeking FEAST support for workshops that teach basic mosaic skills to people of all ages . Participants will create a small piece for themselves and help create a piece to be donated to the community as a public art installation. Heather believes that when people participate in creating something for their community they get a sense of ownership and personal pride for where they live. “No bare surface is safe when I am around!” - Heather

Janet Lee Stinson Janet is a dancer and teacher who is looking for FEAST support to offer free dance classes this fall. Four programs will be scheduled in September and October at the John Wilson Gazebo Park that invite the public to experience the Journey Dance, a vibrant and interactive movement form championed by Janet.. These dances will be created around different themes that will build upon each other, and dancers may join for the journey of all four dances or drop in to sample just a few. “Safety Harbor is home to me and I am thrilled to see the way we are transforming in to a caring community through love and support of each other. What better way to catapult the future of this artistic community than with dancing?” - Janet
