This windowless, storied, concrete building filled with art is an exceptional place to visit. You need to reserve a spot on a tour to visit this private collection. The art and the tour are enriching experiences. The vision for the collection feels personal and focused. I am equally impressed with the tour guide’s script and …
I recently had a conversation with a friend about how much we plan our itinerary for trips. How do you balance unexpected discoveries and enjoying the off-the-beaten path greatness? It’s hard to imagine stumbling across Center for International Light Art or going to the North Rhine-Westphalia region of Germany and missing this unique place! A few …

A few weeks ago, we made our first trip to the Mobile Museum of Art to see “do it” an exhibition of instructions and artworks interpreting those instructions. “do it” is a traveling exhibition produced by Independent Curators International that begins with artists telling you what to do.

We practiced our ninja poses, danced in the grass like no one was watching, and tried to see how many kids could fit in a giant head. That pretty much describes our life any day, but I’m pretty excited that it was at an art collection on this day! We visited the Citygarden in …
I recently wrote about our visit to Feat. at Schermerhorn Symphony Center and the Frist Art Museum. After the show, we had the unexpected opportunity to talk with Nick Cave.
