Day 270 – Art After Dark

For my intention today I headed over to the Newport Art Museum for a function they call “Art After Dark”. It’s a night of appetizers, activities, music, drinks and art. I went to the Newport Art Museum before for the outdoor movie night this summer but I have never actually been inside. I was shocked at the size of it! When I walked through the door and saw the grand staircase and heard the live music playing, I was instantly relaxed and felt very comfortable. I signed in, grabbed a pamphlet and made my way through room after room, floor after floor just wandering about looking at the art, photography and sculptures. I didn’t mind going alone because this allowed me to go at my own pace and linger when I wanted to.

They had appetizers that were quite delightful and a bar area set up. Various activities including collage making, color blending and so on and were set up in perfect timing from one room to the next. There were people there of all ages which was nice as well. I just love the variety of events offered in my area that are based around the arts. I have enjoyed immersing myself in such a culture filled environment.

So, I have always gone through local papers to find out about all of the local events offered and would strongly suggest that if you want to get involved in a wide variety of events and activities, check out the local papers and magazines in your area. Many of these events I attend are free or minimal fees and it opens you up to participate in events you may not even be aware of that are taking place right by you too. #Cheers #branchoutandtrysomethingnew #HGAL
