Patriotic Pups at the Parade

Its been a busy day but I wanted to share a photo from the Veterans Day Parade today.

At this years Art All Night there was a giant time line and vistors were asked to add their Art All Night memories to the board.

Art All Night Timeline

While there were lots of interesting memories stuck on to the board, this post-it note jumped out at me. In case you can’t read the post-it…

Green Note: “Art is everything my parents told me not to do”
Grey Note: “SAME HERE! It’s a damned shame I listened to them. I’m 56 now and finally I’m enjoying art + LIFE”
