don't take your local art museum for granted. one day, it could be too late, and they could be gone. financial times have made it difficult all around to make ends meet. it was not too long after my first visit to the long beach museum recently that i found out they are in danger due to financial woes.

the show i went to featured artists taking book arts to large sculptural forms, and it along with all access to the museum is free on fridays. i can't believe i never took advantage of this before. it's such a good deal. i hope enough people visit the museum and take advantage of all they have to offer, including free video screenings related to concurrent exhibitions on fridays.
