Without art and culture many of us feel like we are stuck in the day to day of possibly mind numbing work, routine family life and just an overall sense of going with the flow without realizing it. Culture in the forms of food, art, music, etc are available to us to help inspire and help us see the bigger picture. Even to make us laugh or feel something deep.
We may not even realize that were are exposed to art on a daily basis as it has become more and more integrated into our lives. If you spend quite a bit of time on the Internet you are likely to come across good and bad graphic art. Graphic design is a type of art, obviously, and some graphic design may include some graphic art on the website. Social media outlets are another common place where you may see different forms of cool artwork and maybe lame artwork posted in the forms of photos, music, or illustration from friends and family.
What does it mean though if we are exposed to this kind of art so frequently that we do not realize it, or that we seem to not reap the benefits like we would when checking out cool artwork in a physical venue intentionally? Does this matter? Some people may argue that you get an entirely different experience afforded to you when you go to The Metropolitan art museum of The Museum of Modern Art. The viewer experience is more impressive and one could also argue that it leaves a greater impact.
Whether you live in a large city like New York and can check out any NYC museums whenever you please or you are visiting big cities like Chicago, New York City, Boston, or Washington DC you can get show exhibition schedules for places like The met museum or The Sculpture Garden DC venue online to see what is happening when. You can even get tips on promotions and regular art gallery savings opportunities like The Chicago Art Institute Free Days.
Without cool artwork to inspire us and get us out of our heads a little, life would not be fully lived. There is cool artwork out there for everyone to enjoy, and for everyone to discuss and even debate.
