Nashvisual art.

Yesterday Keith & I got to explore the local art scene a little. I've been using the local paper (the actual paper kind!) to guide all of my local explorations. At the Estel Gallery downtown we saw an amazing exhibit by Pamela Sukhum. What caught my attention in the paper was "The Beautiful Project" involving art by refugee children in Chad. I wasn't even expecting to see her own incredible oil/acrylic paintings. Both her work & the children's work were equally moving & inspiring.

After stopping in for a treat at a wonderful little European-style patisserie we went to The Arts Company and enjoyed a number of exhibits, my favorite of which involved Polaroid photos that had been distorted during the developing process.
