One of the benefits of living in larger cities is the ability to visit museums and see great art first hand. When I lived in Chicago I visited museums weekly, I knew where all my favorite works were located and could zoom right through studying one or two pieces per visit. In Seattle I went to more galleries than museums. There were a few good museums, but because I knew so many artists I spent most of my time going to openings. I grew up in Charlotte, and most weekends I visited galleries downtown. Although I lived on a gravel road deep in a wooded area, I could easily get downtown for a quick art fix. I enjoy looking at art almost as much as I enjoy making the stuff.
