I don't know how I feel about the downtown Art Walks these days - there's been a narrowing of the diversity of art work shown, and alot of the younger and more experimental artists aren't involved. But then I start feeling that way and stop paying attention- and that's not good either. I feel it's important to support the art community and especially young artists. It's not just about buying the work - but boy, showing up and simply appreciating someone's work is important too - someone that just might be struggling between thoughts of really pursuing an art career vs going for the guaranteed insurance benefits thing. I got this great invite to Friday's Art Walk from Colleen Terrell and Lime Blue - rumors are that Colleen will be showing some larger silkscreens like this one of an interesting Charleston street corner. I really like the invite - and think the posters might be really nice. I'll try to go, even if only for awhile. Just a recommendation - if you're looking for some art to support on Friday night.
