We went to the open house.
The local arts center offers to teach the public the fine art of printing!

The patience of these artists is amazing!
Benjamin Franklin was a printer.
You can be one too!
Yesterday I found out that art helps us in our emotional growth.
I went to a pow wow of sorts at the local arts center regarding the direction of the Grand.

I found out that some people feel that art is not for them.
Yet throughout the ages, art has been significant in every culture.
I have seen all kinds of art.
To be honest some of it has downright puzzled me. “What’s that?” I sometimes wonder.
As a singer and a songwriter, I don’t always think of music as being an art per se. I think of it as musical storytelling. It’s fun and entertaining.
However music is a means of self-expression. It is an art.
My preference is towards the wordy arts.
I like songs and stories and film.
I like accessible art as well.
I like mainly realism and functional arts and crafts.
I like pops of color as well, for décor and inspiration.
So now, I will continue musing about art over my muesli this morning.
On Sunday there was an open house at the Grand.
The Grand Center for the Arts is a delightful space in the downtown area of my town.

There have been many live performances in the building, as well as live music on the deck in the warmer months.
There is a bar, and during live performances they offer light fare as well to add to the conviviality for the guests.
One of the most unique features are the printing presses in the basement.
To adapt to the times, the Grand has made many changes in its administration and functions in the community.
To stay relevant, it encourages artists to express their talents in exhibits, gallery shows, and public displays. Poets, dancers, musicians, painters, and many more artists, have benefited from the benevolence of The Grand and its supporters.
