Why Diastole? Solely because it may serve as a gathering place for people. Its purpose has no defined program, no end point, no agenda. E.

It has no politics and no bias. Except the bias of believing in people coming together, thinking, talking, reasoning, planning. It was built to be a happy, provocative, stimulating meeting place, a place of goodwill and shared endeavor. Hopefully, it will never be a neutral building but one that encourages people to say “Why not?”

That is what we set out to do. Grey Dimond

Diastole is moving!.....just kidding. Guess what is happening! And no, it's not a dance party.

New art installation at Diastole's west entrance. Artist: Eric Storey. If you like "Forty Years in the Desk Drawer", 1988, you will love this! It is a perfect, organized, shadowbox of whimsy; a "window", so to speak, as to what awaits for you inside Diastole.

Artist-in-residence, Eric Storey. He is not only a dear friend of mine, but also someone who cares deeply about Diastole. He's been doing so many needed repairs with creativity and a commitment to honor the legacy of E. Grey Dimond. This is just one!- Repurposing an old, janky mail drop that hasn't been used in years, to a fun outdoor "fence shelf"! I already see me putting knick knacks and books in here! Thank you Eric! Check back for more surprises at Diastole and look for them on your next visit.
