Week 1: Art in the Community

This week I watched my little girl take her first class at The Little Gym.  It's a movement class for toddlers that helps them become familiar and comfortable moving their little bodies and exploring gymnastic equipment.  She loved every minute of it!  The instructors were very energetic & patient.  I noticed that they didn't force kids to participate in their activity, but they all had to follow certain rules.  The instructors reigned the wanderers in with kindness and enthusiasm!

I also spent some time noticing restaraunts and other local businesses that display and sell art.  I saw art at the Rio Grande Cafe, Cafe Madrid, Mr. Carwash (formerly Bischoff Car Wash), Frida's Cafe & the Neighborhood Pharmacy.  Most displayed local artist, but not all.  I'm sure there are tons more businesses that support art, and I like to support them in turn!

  These are a few originals done by a local artist, Doty Egan, for Bischoff Car Wash as a thank you for supporting the arts in our community.  Now that Bischoff's has sold to Mr. Carwash, they are selling art, even though they're not local.
