Does the fact that there are no comments mean that art-goers do not read this blog?

All you need is one comment, and that might get someone going..this was just posted today...

what you want to talk about?

Don't know about the art scene elsewhere around Wisconsin, but it is coming along here in Kenosha...slowly, but surely. South Eastern Wisconsin is more known for factories, beer, brats, and football. Bringing a bit of culture to them too quickly might shock some of their cholesterol laden arteries.

It seems stupid for MMoCA to sponsor something and then not have anything new, or special, or even anything at all in their main galleries.

Let's face it: Gallery Night did not consist of 58 shows. Half of the venues were coffee shops that happened to have a few paintings hanging on the wall, as they do year round. Many of the venues did nothing more than hold their regular hours, with nothing special related to Gallery Night. Many of the venues' websites didn't even mention that they were participating in Gallery Night, which shows just how important it was to them. Some of the venues really went all out to make it a special night, but the whole Gallery Night loses a lot of credibility by even including all of the non-gallery venues that did nothing other than include their name on a list of venues.

100% correct on the last post. After wading through the list there are about 5-7 places worth going to to see interesting art. I'm pretty sure at least one of the best shows wasn't even on the list (at the project lodge).
