Madonna

Madonna Instagram – Dame Tracey Emin is a Pearl.
A precious necklace that has been draped around a seaside Town in England called Margate. I have known Tracey for over 25 years and I’ve always been a fan of her extremely personal and provocative work. But what she has created in this community by the sea is quite remarkable.
She has an artist residency program where she invites young artists from all around the world to come and paint and live for several months, artist who otherwise would have no place to paint and develop their talent  and be a part of the many exhibitions that happen  around  Margate. I’ve been there a few times now and I’m always struck by the commitment and passion of all of these artists.
Hungry, possessed, and extremely grateful to have this opportunity. They all have very touching stories to share and honestly  it’s So refreshing to witness them working in such a dedicated way. Not only that, but the whole town seems to be inhabited  and energized by creativity.
Writers and performance artists, photographers, and painters. This is my idea of heaven.
Whenever I go there, I feel like I’ve entered a dream. On top of all of that, I get to eat at my favorite Italian restaurant which I’m not giving anyone the name of because then everyone’s going to go there and it only has one table!!
Good to share something in the news that is not about hatred and killing but celebrates human connection and the ability that Art has to elevate people. To bring people together.
