In You are an Artist, Sarah Urist Green writes about different artists, and gives an art assignment based on each of them. I’m a longtime Vlogbrothers fan (I started watching their videos in 2007, which was roughly half my lifetime ago. In other news, I am elderly.) and Sarah Urist Green is married to John …
One of my favorite places in Detroit is the Detroit Institute of Art. I went there as a kid and fell in love with every bit of it, and I’ve been back again and agin. The special exhibit they have right now is Ruben & Isabel Toledo: Labor of Love, and I was lucky enough …
On Saturday, I had the chance to visit the Muskegon Museum of Art for the first time. I came because I heard about their fiber art exhibit – I was very interested in fiber art at one point in time, and I thought it would be worth a visit. The museum is small and has …

Robert Coombs was in the top 25 of ArtPrize with his work, Disabilities and Sexuality. I got the chance to talk with him and see his work on Saturday. His photos are striking and thought provoking, and well worth a look. If you’re going to be around ArtPrize, be sure to check out Roberts work …
Photos by Mr.Stonebender Anca Gray has a fascinating piece in ArtPrize. I feel like I could get lost just looking at it. It’s made of eggshells, a material that I don’t consider at all, let alone consider as a media for art. I had the chance to interview Anca about her piece, and here’s how …
As you may or may not know, ArtPrize features a lot of terrible art. Part of the whole philosophy of letting everyone enter is that EVERYONE will enter, and a lot of things will be less than great. So, to help you choose where to go, I have compiled a list of venues that will …
I met Gabriel Dawe at Kendall, in the lobby of the Federal building and we went into the gallery where he’s installing his piece, Plexus 18, a site-specific work made of sewing thread. He’s been doing the Plexus series for two and a half years. Gabriel describes his work as “Architectural structures composed of the …
The Musée des Beaux Arts Montréal rocked my world. Like most places I go, I didn’t know much about it before going there, but when I arrived, I was amazed. The museum was founded in 1860, making it the oldest art institution in Canada. Admission to the permanent collection is free for everyone, which I …
Since I’m still off in the woods, being woodsy and singing a lot of songs, I convinced my friend Emaline to write a blog post for me. Emaline is a quizbowl pro and she’s also studying art history at BYU, so she’s my go-to person for random questions about…everything. Yep. So, here it is! Fun! …
