Sage WHAT?

The acronym for S.A.G.E. stands for Studio Art Group Engaged. And what is the group engaged in? The group came together through informal studio visits to show and discuss their work.

The number of members grew and is limited only by the number of people that can fit into an average studio space.

Plans are in progress for a public presence that could include gallery exhibitions, open studios and other activities.

SAGE TALK

Take control of your destiny. Believe in yourself. Ignore those who try to discourage you. Avoid negative sources, people, places, things and habits. Don't give up and don't give in.
– Wanda Carter

Do or do not. There is no try.
– Yoda

We are students of words: we are shut up in schools, and colleges, and recitation-rooms, for ten or fifteen years, and come out at last with a bag of wind, a memory of words, and do not know a thing.
– Ralph Waldo Emerson

Prayer does not use up artificial energy, doesn't burn up any fossil fuel, doesn't pollute. Neither does song, neither does love, neither does the dance.
– Margaret Mead

If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music he hears, however measured or far away.
– Henry David Thoreau, "Walden," 1854

If you want to get laid, go to college. If you want an education, go to the library.
– Frank Zappa

Men regard themselves as free, since they are aware of their will and their desires, and do not even in dreams think of the causes which determine their desiring and willing, as they do not know them.
– Spinoza 1632-1677

All the adversity I've had in my life, all my troubles and obstacles, have strengthened me. . . . You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you.
– Walt Disney
