Absolutely wonderful day Jan. 8 at the The Hermitage for the Battle of New Orleans Celebration. The weather was wonderful. The keynote speaker was exceptional. The ceremony was moving. The art made by the Borderless Arts Tennessee participants under the direction of Lauren Emery Rudd was perfect for the occasion. There is nowhere I would have rather been. Terrific way for Borderless Arts Tennessee to start off our celebration of the 250th anniversary of the United States and the 25th anniversary of Borderless Arts.
