The Artist Date is a once-weekly, festive, solo expedition to explore something that interests you. The Artist Date need not be overtly “artistic”– think mischief more than mastery. Artist Dates fire up the imagination. They spark whimsy. They encourage play. Since art is about the play of ideas, they feed our creative work by replenishing our inner well of images and inspiration.

For those in need of a suggestion for an Artist Date:

Go to an art supply store with a $10.00 budget. Treat yourself to whatever inspires you. When you get home, use what you just bought...just for fun!
