What is Baffu?  Among other things, it's an e-magazine that focuses on art from Belizeans.  It features art of many forms.  There are poems in it, and there are drawing and paintings too.  Scores of Belizeans contributed to it.  There are works from Stacy Ann Rodriguez, Valerie Penner, and Kate Usher, just to name a few.  You can download the first issue on Media Fire.  It's free, and it's interesting.  Check it out - the cover is not representative of the interior - and you might like it.

The Soul Project had a special exhibit Saturday night of the works of Valerie Joyce Penner.  Quite a bit of her art was on display, and she even did a few songs.  Rick Galvez played some new material also.  Another great night at the Soul Project.
