"We're Visiting Greensboro"

The top of the poster in the window reads, "We're visiting Greensboro."  The poster is from an exhibit at the Weatherspoon Art Museum, entilted Fallen Fruit by David Burns and Austin Young. The lemon-themed art, as photographed for the poster, represents a project called lemonade stand. Patrons of the Weatherspoon had the opportunity to drink lemonade with the artists and to draw faces on lemons. They were to create a self-portrait with black marker, representing either the best or worst day of their life. The artist selected some of these lemons to display at the Weatherspoon. Through this project, the hope is that, people will learn that there is more than one response to "When life gives you lemons....."*

Those who attended the Solstice Event last night got to see the real, decorated lemons. The Food for Thought exhibit will continue until August 24th and is well worth the visit. The women to the right are walking along South Elm Street, visiting downtown Greensboro. Had we been quicker, we would have asked them, "What do you do when life gives you lemons?".  

For our friends at Weekend Reflections, pucker up! This lemony photo's for you! And, albeit understated, the reflection is present!
