OLIO » Update http://olionight.org Bringing together art & design in the spirit of the salons Mon, 29 Aug 2011 21:21:31 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 Thanks for Your Support http://olionight.org/thanks-for-your-support http://olionight.org/thanks-for-your-support#comments Mon, 29 Aug 2011 21:21:31 +0000 Lowell http://olionight.org/?p=403 I hope everyone is having a wonderful summer despite hurricanes and earthquakes!

I would like to personally thank everyone who has been involved in Olio these past couple of years. This has been a gratifying experience that I am glad so many could share with me, from presenters to audience members to volunteers. Charlottesville in general has been full of engaged and motivated people without whom this project would not be possible.

That said, I am sad to announce the conclusion of the Olio event. This fall will find me moving full-time to Shanghai, China. With no one to succeed me in the role of director I will wind down the program’s presence online. If you have any questions or comments please drop by the Olio Facebook Page or email me. I hope we can all maintain the connections that grew from our shared experiences at Olio and continue to explore new ideas!

Best Wishes,
Lowell Morin

I have just finished moving to Northern Virginia awaiting my next endeavor, but in the meantime there are plenty of new ideas to be shared in C-ville. For that reason I am seeking someone who would like to take on the Olio project and move it forward. Olio doesn’t require a huge time commitment. However, it is a voluntary non-profit event and thus requires organizational skills, flexibility, and persistence. If you are interested or have questions, please get in touch: email I look forward to seeing the project on into its next phase!
