Newsworthy...

We have officially launched our new website! Please check it out at http://www.haizlipstudio.com/.

We are also proud to announce that Mary Haizlip received her license this summer and is going to be on the 2011 AIA Board of Directors.

In addition to these studio accomplishments, Haizlip Studio has had several successful projects open:

• Harry's Big Adventure - a traveling exhibit for Terminix and Audubon Nature Institute
• The University of Memphis University Center
• The Children's Museum of South Dakota in Brookings, SD
• Glazer Children's Museum in Tampa, FL

2009 has been a good year. We are thankful for our work and looking forward to what the future brings!

New Works by Amy Dose at POTS

Please join us for the opening reception! Friday, July 16th at Playoutse on the Square from 6-8pm. Looking forward to it and hope to see you there!

Yard Sale + Food Drive - This Saturday

If you are in Memphis this Saturday, the 26th, please come out from 6am - 1pm and shop for a cause. We're hosting a yard sale with all proceeds going to Operation Feed - a workplace food drive benefitting the Memphis Food Bank.

We've got everything from vintage clothes to cool books to a dog mullet - and you can pay in non-perishable canned goods!

Also, our neighbors World's Apart and Central BBQ have generously donated a portion of Saturday's sales to help feed the need - so visit them as well.

2125 Central Ave - be there or be square.

ACM 2010

We had an incredible time at ACM this year. We met some fabulous people, heard some great speakers, and thoroughly enjoyed St. Paul. Afterwards, we took a trip to Brookings, SD to see the progress on the Children's Museum of South Dakota which is coming along wonderfully! Looks like the museum will open in August - can't wait!

Neighborhood Blood Drive

Our fabulous neighbors down the street at Combustion organized a blood drive today and Haizlip Studio was very happy to participate. Thank you, Combustion for organizing and Lifeblood for serving our community.
