> SHLOCK ART
For the first time in my career I visited a "Starving Artist Sale" at our local Holiday Inn. It was set up for 2 days, from 11-4PM.
What I found there was amazing, and a revelation.
The room was FILLED with people (on a Sunday!), ordinary people, couples and singles of all ages, some with their children. I have never seen the like of it outside of an auction setting.
People were carefully selecting paintings, of many subjects and a few basic sizes, no piece priced at more than $60. At the edge of the showroom were mounds of empty frames for buyers to purchase.
At worst, a buyer left there having spent a maximum of $100 or less... and the stuff was (literally) "flying out the door."
> NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM
If you have not yet gone to see this current film, then please please PLEASE do so!
I laughed to the point of tears, for an hour.
Many were the times in the past 30+ years when I, myself, responded by saying that I love working in the museum when everyone is gone because the "art comes to life!"
It does! I swear...
