The Great Blog Catch-Up & CityArts Festival

Yes, I disappeared. This time without excuses and sans apologies. Life was moving at warp speed and I kept moving with it, unfortunately this blog could not keep up. As such, I am now in the process of beginning (and hopefully completing) the great catch-up. First thing will be posting Dallas Art Fair pictures, I know I am a month behind, but better late than never. 


In major news, I now have my very own place to furnish. This means that not only have I become addicted to craigslist, etsy, and 20x200- but I am also scrounging the plentiful Spring Art Festivals in and around Dallas for some great (and inexpensive) art pieces. I will be keep my posts updated on all festivals and super artist finds. Speaking of, this weekend is the CityArts Festival in Fair Park. Here's the scoop:


What: CityArts Festival

When: May 27-29

As always, Enjoy!

Event: Dallas Art Fair!

Tonight I got to preview the Dallas Art Fair, and I can say that it matches my expectations. Galleries ranged from New York to Santa Fe and from Rome to Dallas. For the most part, the mood was very chill and easy going. I am sure that the copious amount of wine, liquor, and champagne helped with that. Not to mention the amazing appetizers provided by the Mansion at Turtle Creek. Because of these tasty delights, I didn't get any photos. But I do think that everyone should spend the twenty bucks to enjoy the Dallas Art Fair and do something different this weekend.
