"Art Lives Upon Discussion"
-Henry James
This is the site of a brand new art blog for Williamsport! The goal of this site is to have people armed with pens and notebooks as they stroll through downtown, ready to associate memories with, express emotions about, and passionately respond to local art. The best way to explore your love for art is to think about it through writing. Why do you love a certain painting? Is it because the green fields remind you of your grandmother's farm? Or because a particular color brings out deep feelings that you forgot you had? How does it compare to other paintings you like? In what ways is it similar or different?
By fleshing these thoughts out through writing, you will capture your artistic event in words and connect with others who have seen art the way that you do (or differently, perhaps). Then our community of art lovers will grow even more through shared experience.
Come join us!
If you have any questions about how to write on this blog, email me at matthewparrish1@gmail.com. I hope to see all of you for First Friday on November 7th and for the Governor's Awards for the Arts in Pennsylvania Nov. 10th through the 16th. I'll be floating through the galleries on Tuesday the 17th from 5 to 10 pm.
