- Brown Baggin It!
- Written by Zach in Art Friday Post News
Thank you everyone for your topic contributions. We decided to use a suggestion submitted by Anna Grace. She proposed “Persephone” as the subject for this week’s post. In Greek mythology Persephone is well known for being the embodiment of the Earth’s fertility, but she’s also the queen of the underworld.

I would like it if you would propose a topic for the following Friday’s post. It might be fun. You can email your suggestions to zfranzen(@)portlandstudios.com. That way I can read them.
