…NOW HERE ARE THE COMPLETE STORIES:
Editor’s Note- URGENT REQUEST! Please help to keep the doors open for this remarkable institution and donate whatever you can…
Artist Johnathan Markish as reached out to us to save the art and education association he has been directing in Lisbon, Portugal.
“Hi Tony…I am currently in Lisbon, Portugal, where I headed from Los Angeles a couple of months after finishing our course in Pasadena, and, well, even though it was not quite by design at all, rather an unpremeditated falling into place, I opened an art and education association here, which is kinda what the timeline we made in your course suggested!
We’ve hosted events, ran exhibitions, collaborated with the European Commission, ran workshops and arts and crafts markets and residency programs so much work has been done, and even during Covid lock down times it just doesn’t stop, and I gotta tell you Tony that probably this phase of my life is in some way indebted to you and the CMC course and the time I spent in LA. So first off let me share any heartfelt gratitude.
So why does a professionally aspiring organization such as ourselves have a free hosted website you may ask? Well... the story is long and intertwining but one of the reasons is that we are strapped for cash, and here comes the ask, we are also running a GoFundMe campaign to help us get through the next couple of months since the state and its regulations forced us to close our doors to the public. …I would, of course, appreciate any help or advice you could offer us with making (our appeal) more public.
Here’s the GoFundMe link: https://gofund.me/32ad99ad
So to conclude I would love to hear your feedback about my little project, ‘Casa da Semente’ AKA ‘Seedhouse’ AKA PRISMA, I would immensely appreciate if you could help us reach an audience with our fundraiser through your creative network…
Thanks for your time, and hope to hear back from you soon!
Best regards,
Much health upon you and your house,”
Jonathan. Markish. President.

There are a lot of really exciting opportunities happening over the next 3 months.
Love to encourage everyone to follow their dreams. It’s just a lot of work, persistence and never ever letting go of the dream.”
It’s the YEAR OF THE OX!
(My daughter Alexi’s year)
Traits of an Ox: Diligence, patience, humility.
This is a year of harvest & good luck
The New Year brings exciting news as my EXTENDED FRAME PHOTOGRAPHS (TM) are being showcased in several exhibitions in February and March (WOW!).
However, before we indulge in art, I want to extend a lot of love to those who have passed and to all of us who miss them greatly. It is sad, there is no way around it.
The FRAGMENTED FRAME, An Online Group Exhibition, February 12 - March 12
With works by Mario Rossi, Sven Pfrommer, Xan Padron, and Ellen Friedlander
Comparing the societal imagery between the pre-Covid world and our current reality.
