Pelican Arts Studio

The Pelican Arts Studio has been the primary working space for resident artist Tom Cardarella since August of 2004.  Located in Mount Rainier, Maryland, it is within the Gateway Arts District of Prince Georges County. 

Click here to see some of the artworks created in the studio, as well as photos of the studio itself and information about current and past events.

You can see more of Tom's works in the artdc.org gallery, and in the Artomatic catalog.

Pelican Arts Live

The Pelican Arts Live section has been a calendar of events (mostly musical, mostly "acoustic") in the Washington, D.C. area.  Due to lack of traffic here, and since there are other more useful and more thorough online calendars, this section is discontinued as of December 2007.

Here are a few other calendars you might find useful:

   WFMA (World Folk Music Association): http://www.wfma.net/DCEVENTS.htm
   Mary Cliff/Traditions: http://marycliff.net/whoswhere.php
   Musi-Cal Concerts: http://www.musi-cal.com

And, of course, you can always use your favorite search engine to find the web sites of your favorite performers and venues.

Quotes & Excerpts

This section contains random quotes and written excerpts that appealed to me for some reason.  They come from various sources — mostly books, at least one verbal comment, perhaps some song lyrics.  Many are funny, some contain striking ideas, some are (perhaps) beautifully written, all are meant to be interesting, to stimulate thought about either form or content.

Organizations

These are some of the organizations that I support as a member, a donor or a volunteer.  (Click on a logo to visit their web site.)
