According to my west coast brother, who keeps me up to date on such things, today is "Go to an Art Museum Today" day. I didn't quite do that but almost. A friend and I went to the Bradley, the newest downtown hotel, for brunch. It was tasty. I had the French toast and maple sausage, all very good, and just a little on the pricy side. After we ate we explored the public areas, decorated, as you might expect, with Vera Bradly wall paper patterns and carpets. But, and here's where the 'art museum' part comes in, what I really enjoyed, was the long hallway decorated with original art, much of it created by art students at Purdue Fort Wayne. According to one of the managers (everyone was very friendly and helpful) this display will be changed frequently, giving several students a chance to show their creations. What a great idea. Of course I'm also living in an art museum. The large lobbies in our two buildings are decorated with original paintings and sculptures displayed by members of the Fort Wayne Artist's Guild. These are changed every three months or so and I do enjoy looking at the art. So far I have resisted buying anything. So far.
