The Arts

Each weekend we spend some time looking at ways leaders can escape their leadership role and just relax. Two weekends ago we looked at spending time with family and friends. Last weekend we looked at sports. This weekend our focus is on the arts.

If you live in or near a large metropolitan area you may have many art opportunities. Winter may be a time when you can't attend outdoor art shows or festivals. There should still be plenty for you to do.

I live in the Twin Cities and one thing we have done as a family is to take in the Minneapolis Institute of Art. Every month they have a family Sunday and it is a great time to expose the children to the world of art. They have special hands on events for the kids during that family day. If you don't have children take a venture anyway to the art museum. Nothing is more relaxing than casually walking around an art museum and admiring the wonderful works of art.

As the weather gets better and summer is upon us you may have many opportunities to take in local art fairs and have a nice walk in a park viewing the local art.

One day this weekend enjoy the art that is around you.
