You're not allowed to live in Nashville, be an art lover, and not have been to Hatch! It's so glorious! The castaway $3 pile is the best thing ever. Watch out for the cat!

Oh Elsita, you have such a wonderful creative spirit! As my husband was also born and raised in Cuba, I can feel so much of what you say here. And how perfect to show Etsy (aka Bunny) in dialogue with Fidel, he looks like he is very intrigued. :) You are very inspiring. Thank you for sharing all that creativity with us.

Elsita I too was born in Cuba. I don't remember much. I do remember being very wealthy, we had maids,cooks and lots of animals to eat. oh yes and lots of fruit trees. I miss picking my own mango and my bananas. My mother was a seamstress and my Father worked on the Rail road, My mother was also a singer. they Called her, La Novia de oriente. I came here in 1971 from Guantanamo bay. I have been in Michigan for 36 years. the only things I brought back with me was all the things my mother and my grandma tough me about art. and here I am at etsy, showing the word what kind of mind I have. I create many things. I hope everyone likes what I have. and I hope someday I can be wealthy again like I was as a child. Elsita I love your art. and who you are. keep up the good work.

Thank you SOO

I think the building the ARC was in had some fire code issues, which prevent them from doing performances and such there anymore. The Bike Project still operates out the same building though, as does the Iron Rail, which is a community library and book store (the first library in the city to reopen after Katrina!). The Green Project (one of my favorite organizations in town) sort of picks up where the ARC left off in a lot of ways...they do at least one Recycle for the Arts art class a month as well as other events and projects. Plus they offer low-cost recycled building materials to the community. http://www.greenproject.org

Wonderful article. I had the pleasure of visiting Havana a couple of years ago. The music on every corner was amazing, the food...just sublime, the ambience....the old cars...but the passionate spirit of the people was what struck me the most. A beautiful experience.

What an inspiring piece! I wasn't homeschooled, but as someone who got frustrated with the traditional public school system and left high school a year and a half early to jump into college work, I think it's great that this is becoming more commonplace. Sounds like your kids are really learning to think for themselves and already understand what their passions are!

So glad you shared your experiences, Debra! It's always great to hear from kindred spirits. Homeschooling has been a terrific adventure for us, too - very productive and empowering. And a whole lotta fun!
