Ohhh I am reading this late but my sister and I just visited Homestead Heritage Craft Village in Waco, Tx!!! Is was amazing. It took us an hour and 30 to get there but it was worth it. Will never forget all the gorgeous pottery, fiber art, and food that the community of people there make themselves!!!!

Basically, I don’t know what I’m doing. I have a “Fan Page” on “Facebook”, it’s under JD Elliott. If you can get that, then you can see my paintings. Or I can send them to somebody.

Just back from a trip over the North Sea from Norway to Denmark, by ferry, to see Per Kirkeby in Aarhus at the Aros. I don’t hesitiate to jump on a plane to somewhere to see inspiring art. In Europe, it’s actually easier to hop to London/Paris/Oslo, etc. It’s actually more of a “project” to drive around Norway to see something…..Go alone, or get a small group together and share costs and inspiration. If you go somewhere with people who are marginally interested, you’ll end up in shopping centers, or cafes.

Hi Alyson Thanks for sharing your road trip. I am currently on mine travelling around Australia with my husband and 2 children in a caravan we have been travelling now for 7 months and still have another couple to go before we head home to Queensland Australia.There is so much i do not know about Art, that’s why I love your blog. I recently added it to blogs I Love. It is so inspiring and motivating and PRACTICAL! I was so taken with the Rothko Chapel that I did my own personel post on it. I’ve put it on my TODO list before I die. All best and thanks. sincerely Candice Herne

This is such crazy timing! I’ve been conflicted about driving out to Pittsburgh for the day (it’s a 4.5 hour trip, so a long day) to check out Luke & Eloy gallery while the Contain exhibit is on. I know it would be a roadtrip to see my own work, but I’ve never been there and there are all kinds of other great metal artists who are in the exhibit, included David Huang who is my bowl idol. This post might be the omen I’ve been looking for to convince me that it’s not that far.

Loveland, Colorado, bronze sculpture mecca of the Rockies, is on our calendar later this year. I can’t wait to walk through the sculpture park there and spend time enjoying the wide variety of work there.

Hi Alyson,
It’s absolutely true that seeing art in museums in other cities expands your
horizons (literally and figuratively). Your post is great too for people like
me who have done their major travelling for this year, yet can still see
some of what you saw through your links. Thanks again.
Barbara

My wife and I drove down to VA from Baltimore to check out the Peninsula Fine Arts Center in Newport News and the newly expanded Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond. Both were great and I came home inspired and a tiny bit smarter.

http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=117421308275146&ref=ts I donated 3 paintings to this event, & now I have to actually drive up there to deliver them…The venue is on a lake called Musselman Lake in a place called Stouffville…I’m going to drive up & loiter around this town only an hour away from me but which I have never been to…I’m hoping it will be so beautiful there that my next painting will arrive in my head while loitering…(does Nature count as an art gallery?)

I’m on my way to Santa Fe this summer to visit galleries and meet a couple of women artists in the area that I made connections with through linkedin. Should be a great trip and I am certainly ready to be refreshed and inspired! I’m planning on doing some “good work’ when I get back.
