brings artists together without all the drama that often occurs behind the scenes.

"There's a reason why I feel more comfortable behind the lens," Goldwin chuckles. In her
40-by -60-inch photograph The Paper Wasteland, she captures the remnants of a fire that
scorched the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden's library . The image accompanies a piece shot
at the same location that shows filing cabinets. Their enamel is burned off and their paint is
peeling away , rev ealing rusty -orange and blue hues.
This y ear a liv e installation will take place in the main auditorium. Darius Daughtry ,
director of Omari Hardwick Bluapple Poetry Network, will present ten select poets from
Broward County high schools giv ing a 45-minute spoken-word performance. "All the poems
are original, by the high school students, and range from stories about div orce, abuse, selfesteem, and self-empowerment," Daughtry say s.

"I took the words and interpreted them through color," Amato ex plains. "And I plan a nice

whom will transform into marble through body painting.
