Art Happenings

The excitement is rising! Everyone is starting to plan their
vacations, or traveling up north. I envy you the opportunity to visit so many of my old f
avorite museums: the Guggenheim in New York, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and the
National Museum of Women Artists in Washington, DC.
My neighbors are well-traveled. Most have two homes and go
back and forth to all points across the country. In my beachside playground we call home,
the summer sun in Florida gets too much of a good thing. When the days begin to wear you down
there is only one refreshing antidote. Get off the beach-chair and the hot sand and into an air
conditioned art exhibit. Find the best of the best in the sunshine state. You still have a
chance to catch the fabulous Calder Jewelry at the
Norton Museum until June 15th. Don and I were there this afternoon and caught a wonderful
docent tour at 2 PM with a character, "Bud."

Cruising shuts down in the Caribbean due to Hurricane
season and the ships switch to Europe where Art is not a luxury, but a way of life. I
still have fond memories of walking through the Louvre where I saw numerous artists
sketching and painting the great masterpieces. Around every corner there are places
where famous artists lived and worked. In the U.S. artists are establishing themselves,
and continuing to flourish. |
I tried kayaking on my last trip and bruised my muscles. I
recommend quenching your thirst for new experiences in the form of art. Dodi Sikevitz,
one of our talented neighbors will be demonstrating mono printing on plexiglass for the
Women in the Visual Arts’ June
20th meeting from Noon-2 PM at Sugar Sand Park in Boca Raton. Free. Call 561-347-3900
for directions. |

I look forward to the
Boca Raton Museum of Art’s 57th Annual All Florida Juried Competition at Mizner Park from
July 2 through September 7, 2008. Don't forget to stop by the
Artists’ Guild’s gallery
across the street from the Museum to see their latest "Images" exhibit.
Until we meet again, happy travels!

Art Happenings will be back in the fall. |
