One saying I like: great art comforts the disturbed and disturbs the comfortable.
Heh. I often see "art" in some museum I don't consider to be art at all. It's rarely disturbing, it's just ... pointless to me, and I'm not talking about pointilism.
I liked the Boston museum of fine arts. The High Museum here is just "OK", we're members, but rarely go. My step son's GF is an art seller of some sort, I think it's all on line, she's showed me some neat things she's offering that I like. He's the one living in SF and doing well apparently. She's from HK. She lives in San Jose.
My wife and I enjoy Solano Beach near SD, they have some pretty neat artsy fartsy shops along the main drag.
There are art shows in the park several times a year here, the vendors are curated and some of them are really nice, some have stuff I wouldn't buy but are interesting, some looks like junk, but they'll have 300+ booths. We got to be friends with a jewerly maker who attends most of them. Some is pottery, sculpture, paintings, the gamut, a lot of fun, usually in spring or fall when the weather is first rate.
