Art on the Lake

I love art attacks. You know what I mean, you are just moving through your day and you suddenly come upon unexpected art. Maybe you enter a building for some mundane errand and see fantastic paintings on the wall. Or you turn a corner and see an art show set up on the street. Your mind is suddenly happy and curious as you soak up all the creative energy. Your boring errands and traffic woes are forgotten as you enjoy the art attack. The Girdwood Center for Visual Art is staging an art attack. We hope to give locals and visitor's a surprise moment of art.

The MV Ptarmigan will tour the pristine Portage Lake and the Portage Glacier like it does every summer. People will enjoy the life sounds of glacier, see the area wildlife and learn about Alaska. The twist? Art from the Girdwood Center for Visual Art will be on display. During the cruise artists will be on board creating while the boat lazily circles the shoreline. Musicians will entertain passengers as they sip wine and munch on hors d'oeuvres. This one time event will add a truly memorable moment to their summer.

I have gone on this cruise and it really is a nice boat trip with a great close up of the glacier. But art added to the wonderful scenery.....now that is going to be great. Mark your calendar if you would like this join this art attack. We will be on the boat Wednesday,June 24 and the tickets are $50. Drop me a note if you would like to know more. And always enjoy those unexpected art moments.
