It’s only our first couple weeks open with the Patricia Patterson exhibition, but the kids have already invaded the museum space! School tours and Art Smart are in full swing and it has been fun watching these fresh faces come through and feeling their excitement in response to the artwork. Art exposure for school aged children is an awesome thing that the Center provides, especially in an economical climate that includes budget cuts to art programs within the schools themselves. Anyway, the kids LOVE all the colors in Patricia's work, and while Patterson’s potato bed installation looks strikingly similar to a sandbox, it’s been hard convincing these little ones to keep out. ;-)
Become more Arty.
Meet our Bloggers
Beth Kwapis, Museum Coordinator Dream Title: Connoisseur of Human Folly Beth is: more voyeur than exhibitionist and is thus completely terrified to be sharing her thoughts via blog. That is no joke! I love mid-century Modern anything and I want to adopt 1-4 dachshunds with my husband (he remains ambivalent on the subject). Originally from the Detroit area, I am currently flirting with becoming a pescetarian because all one's protien needs can be met with the incredible sushi I'm discovering in San Diego. I basically snagged this job by coming into the Museum and begging the kind front desk staff to pass on my resume. I am not sure how I've managed to keep it. Carissa Baird, Museum Clerk Dream Title: Your Awesomeness Carissa is: an art lovin', fro wearin', burrito eatin', red wine drinkin', world travelin', movie watchin', girl with the small wrist tattoo. A political, sociological, feminist, (wannabe) artist, thinker, thrill-seeker, reader, and tiny dancer. A laid-back lady who left her heart in San Francisco--but came back with a college degree, and (future) pet whale in Antarctica--but he doesn't know I'm coming to claim him yet. I got this job because I have cool shoes, but I've kept it because I work with cool people. I'd rather be road trippin'. I eat boys and blogs for breakfast. Oh, and I love cliche's. GO CHARGERS!
