Dear Colorado Burners and Friends,
Happy holidays, freaks! The Apo Family has been plugging away, making plans, reviewing your theme ideas and adding new members to our board. What have you been doing? Anyone dreaming of art projects for 2009 should wait no longer to take their first steps towards making them a reality. Apply for your art grants today! Everything you need to know, you'll find below.... including the newly announced theme, which should really stoke your idea fires. Think of all of the warm times we'll have this summer, while you're freezing your tootsies off out there. We're already getting all hot, just thinking about it. Mmmmm.
Fire it up!

WE HAVE A THEME FOR APOGAEA 2009
Thank you to everyone who submitted theme ideas for Apogaea '09! This year's selected theme idea is "Ramble".
RAMBLE
- to wander around in a leisurely, aimless manner.
- to take a course with many turns or windings, as a stream or path.
- to grow in a random, unsystematic fashion.
- to talk or write in a discursive, aimless way
Run with it!
