Support the Arts

Thought of the day:

If artists don't support the arts, how can we possibly expect the general public to do so?

As an art community, we should be buying our art from artists, not from Ikea, we should be attending live performances rather than sporting events, attending openings to support our peers, patronizing the coffee shops that host readings and book stores that support local authors, etc.

That's all for today. As you were.

HAVE NEVER BEEN TO AN ART GALLERY, MAYBE I SHOULD GET TO ONE. I WOULD HAVE A HARD TIME GIVING UP MY STEELER TICKETS TO LOOK AT ART, BUT MAYBE I WOULD BE SURPRISED. ANYWAY, MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. HOPE TO SEE YOU SOON!

Don't give up your tickets Anonymous. You wouldn't have them if you didn't enjoy going to games. You can go to games art galleries, live theater, etc. Think of it this way- just because you discovered Morton's and now love it more than any other restaurant in the world, doesn't mean you can't also find yourself in the mood for pizza and beer.

Thank you TXPinky!
