Art Happenings




June 2008      

     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.
