Visiting Galleries

More Than Just an Artists Date

It feels like years since I have been to an art gallery. Why do I wait so long between visits?


I love walking into an art gallery where all the various artists’ works are displayed, each with their own story or with no story at all. There have been a few times when I have had the pleasure of meeting some of the artists whose work was being shown. I really miss those days.

The question I have for myself is: why don’t I indulge in these visits more often? There are art galleries all over Maine, so it isn’t like I don’t have the opportunity or the means to do so. Is it because this could easily go beyond that of just an artists date? Could it be that I might actually meet some other like-minded individuals and discuss art?

That could very well be. Like many artists, I tend to keep to myself and the chance of running into other artists in galleries is very likely. I need to break out of the comfort zone and enjoy these works once again.

When was the last time you visited an art gallery? Which art gallery did you visit? Which art gallery would you like to visit?
