Self-appointed salons aim to raise the consciousness

Still trying to figure out how to incorporate images into this blog to enhance the overall experience.

So this is a test post from Flickr… and you, lucky readers, are my guinea pigs.

This magazine spread (displayed in the window of a little wine bar in the West Village) caught my eye this morning as I biked past.

The caption (lower left) reads:

The eclectic group of artists and writers form Artistes Sans Hollywood-X, a salon that meets on the second Tuesday of each month in the West Village. “It is our responsibility as the cultural conscience of our nation to work toward consciousness-raising,” says Cintra WIlson (front right), the group’s leader.

And so history repeats itself… Hey, the Flickr thing worked!
