Art All Night

So, when the parents were visiting the other weekend, I didn't work them to death. After all, it was their anniversary that weekend so we had to have a little fun. We ate dinner at Roland's Seafood and Grille. I think we all ordered the Lobster Roll. It is absolutely delicious! From there, we headed to Lawrenceville for Art All Night. The premise is similar to a Relay for Life in that this even goes for a full 24 hour period, but focuses on different types of art. Also, anyone can participate, amateurs and professionals alike. Oh yeah, the definition of art in the city may be a little different than where I grew up!

The entire event is free, however, finding parking in Lawrenceville is always a fun challenge. The venue was a huge warehouse. At times, I found the warehouse more interesting than the art! 

Remember how I said anyone could contribute, well a 60 something old man made this and said it could go to a good home!

There was a live art auction where you could watch the artist paint and make bids on actual canvases which was pretty cool.

You have to remember that this is a city, so prices and art can be quite different. However, my Mom was appalled at some of the prices people were asking. Case and point:

Some of the pictures on display were quite exceptional. These were two of my favorites.

After all of this though, the Christmas Story better watch out, there is a New Leg Lamp in town!! Who wants to show off this beauty?
