Free Beauty and Inspiration

Dropped in to the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art on my way home from an errand today. Free, close-to-the-door parking, and galleries full of a wide variety of art. Some is challenging, some brings a smile, and some is simply breathtaking. Amazing art sits right in the middle of town, a couple blocks away from the also-impressive, and also-free, Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art. Between the two is the lovely Southmoreland Park, home of the also-free Heart of America Shakespeare Festival, which will be producing Julius Caesar this year. My point? It's a new year - resolve to bring make the arts a more central part of your life this year.
