What did you do last Wednesday and why weren’t you at ConArtistNYC for the Red Hat Show? I get it, overtly political art can be somewhat of a repellent to people especially in this current shit show of a social climate. So having a bright red hat screaming a statement can be scary when most art subtly offers a political statement within the context of a painting, sculpture, or photograph. Or do I have it all wrong and the outrage has dissipated because we are all resigned

Of all the wonderful functions art serves, I’d count bringing people together among the most important. Yes--art can act as a gateway between strangers, but it can also bring you closer to someone you already love. Instead of going to dinner and a movie for the billionth time, grab your partner and get in touch with your creative side. Whether you two collaborate or take turns being in control, unleashing your artistic self can show you parts of your partner you’ve never see
