SOCIETY OF UNPRETENTIOUS MISSISSIPPI ARTISTS (SUMA)
I've had an idea about getting together a group of artists that are not hoity-toity, and having monthly get-togethers, studio-hopping among those that have studios, attending artsy functions together, etc. We could share art and even do projects together. Only unpretentious artists need apply. We could make our mark on the local scene and show everyone that art does not have to be pretentious. And, there would be penalties for any displays of pretentiousness.

After so many "pretentiousness penalties," one would be kicked out of the SUMA (does that seem a tad pretentious?) I'm thinking it could be fun. It would be sort of like revenge of the nerds. I have a few people in mind that qualify to be in SUMA and at least one person that said they'd be up for it. Of course, there would be wine and cheese (never pretentious, beer for those preferring it). I just wonder if anyone else might be up for it...
