My Life Adventure

January 4, 2008

As some of you may know, I have not made a New Year's Resolution.  However, I did find a deck of 52 cards I had purchased at Barnes & Noble a couple of years ago and almost immediately misplaced. The deck is called "52 Ways to Nurture Your Creativity" by Lynn Gordon (Author), Karen Johnson (Illustrator).

When making room for my grandson's new bedroom at our house I re-discovered them.  Since there are 52 of them I thought it would be a fun excercise to chose one each week and put it into practice.

OK, for week one I chose the card called "Look Out!"  Basically the idea is to take in the inspiration of other people's work.  Like visit a museum, gallery, etc.  Well, we just happen to have the Georgia O'Keefe exhibit here at the Minneapolis Institute of Art.  The name of the exhibit is Circling Around Abstraction.  (Here's a link to MIA if you are interested - http://www.artsmia.org/

We had tickets for Jan 3.  Then I got sick on Jan 2.  However, the MIA was so very friendly and accomodating to change the tickets to Jan 6 - the last day of the exhibit.  I'm really looking forward to seeing the O'Keefe pieces!

While there I am also very excited to see the "NUNO: Textiles of the 21st Century" exhibit.  You can see a description of the exhibit at the MIA website.  Just click on Exhibits, then Current Exhibits and scroll down to the Nuno title, then click on MORE.

So, it looks as if my creative journey for 2008 is off to a very interesting start!  Hope you enjoy the journey with me.

Thanks for posting the link to the musum - I had a wonderful time there. Do you think you could persude them to send the O'Keefe exhibition to England? By Celia - 1/4/2008 9:00 AM
