This month I am writing a very simple post about an observation that I hope will make others have a guilt free art life.
I
lived in London for 35 years and London has so many visual arts
exhibition, fairs and events that you could never attend them all. I
took my students out every Friday to a new major art display at a museum
and never ran out of choices. The result was a strange confidence.
There is always something to see and do and yes, it is true, when you
are tired of London, you are tired of life.
The
result of all this plenty is what I am now feeling in San Diego. When I
first arrived and started to make friends and find out what was going
on, I tried to attend all the events I could. Sometimes it was quite a
thin selection, and I was pretty much able to see everything I was told
about.
But
over the last 19 years, San Diego has exploded with art events. Now we
are spoiled for choice. Now no matter how hard you try, you could never
show up for everything that everyone you know creates. So now I am more
relaxed. I know there will always be something to see and I know that no
one expects me to show up for this multitude of riches as it is just
humanly impossible. Now I enjoy a guilt free art life in San Diego.
So go out and see some art today, and if not today, then tomorrow. There is plenty to go around.
