From the Claribel and Etta Cone Collection to the Dillard Collection of Art on Paper and everything in between, The Weatherspoon Art Gallery on the UNCG campus has a wealth of fabulous art. Currently, the membership committee is making a concerted effort to attract new members from a variety of diverse demographics. To this end, on Friday evening, from 7-10 pm, they are sponsoring an event entitled, "Masquerade." The evening will include: fun, food, drink, photography, and makeup. If you are so inclined, they will transform your look-- just in time for Halloween. The event is free to the public with a cash bar. It is held in conjunction with the exhibit, "Persona: A Body in Parts." We think the above photo is from that exhibit; at any rate, the photo exemplifies the fact that in addition to the excellent permanent collections, the Weatherspoon has an outstanding exhibition program. You can vote YES tomorrow by joining the Weatherspoon.
Perhaps the above quintet will inspire you to step out of your element and sport a unique look. Our personal favorite is the second from the right-- we're dubbing him/her the "Cousin It" look.
Hope this crew doesn't come Trick or Treating at my door.

Fun event! I kind of like the lumpy creature on the far Left! Two pre-schoolers wandered all the way up to my front walk this morning, their mom was on her way to the store with them when they decided to get a better look at the Jack-O-Lantern in my window and Peanuts Linus and Snoopy on the porch.
She kept calling them from the sidewalk while they were not listening at all...was it wrong that I hid behind the open front door and made a very spooky "Wwhhooooooooooo" at them to send them flying back to her ? ;) I love Halloween!
