Last night, I had the opportunity to go to a gallery crawl in Pittsburgh. I was so glad I went! It was free and I got to hang out with Lisa and some other cool girls. It was in the cultural district of Pittsburgh and all the galleries were open for free. There was the culinary institute, a political cartoon place, a gallery with cartoons from "The People's History of America", woodblock art, interpretive dance, and several other eclectic galleries including African American paintings. They were beautiful!
It was just nice to go do something that is very cultured. Yes, I saw a lot of art that was how do you put it....flaming liberal....it is good for you to experience things outside of your beliefs. I really enjoyed myself.
Also, who can say that they went into a random sketchy bar in Pittsburgh to use the bathroom and had their friend stand in the bathroom with them because it was too scary to stay outside by yourself. Quite an event :)

Participating in the cultured things in life is fun but isn't it horrible that so much of the art is ungodly? Have a great weekend - love ya - Laura
Glad you had the opportunity to do the gallery crawl. I've enjoyed learning more about the actual artists behind the famous paintings over the years. Art history is also very interesting. Have you ever seen the movie "Pollock" about Jackson Pollock's life?
Pittsburgh is a great place for this sort of thing. The rivers aren't the only confluence in the city but their is also a great confluence of people culture and ideas. Ya just have to know when and where to look!
