Travel For Your Art And Soul
The fine arts are great for escaping the ordinary. So is travel. Bring them together, and you can do more than paint the town. You can live life like a song. Which means it’s time to let the arts really move you. Time to let your favorite artists inspire your next amazing adventure. Because there are so many artful and artistic treasures to absorb in this world.
Like seeing your favorite musician perform at a soulful concert or music festival. Experiencing colorful paintings or whimsical sculptures at an art gallery or museum. Exploring cities or historic districts with eclectic and eye-catching architecture. Or seeing an artistic film screening or a live theatrical production with amazing acting and creative plot lines. It’s all calling to you, and it sounds like a symphony.
TOP ARTISTIC EXPERIENCES
Good music opens the heart and soothes the soul. Jazz reigns supreme in New Orleans. Country is king in Nashville. The hottest Latin music is found in Miami’s Little Havana. Find grunge-y alternative tunes in Seattle. And for something more classical, look no further than the world-famous New York Philharmonic Orchestra in the Big Apple.
Art is a broad spectrum, from paintings and sculptures to pottery and photography. In Portland, the Center for Contemporary Native Art is one of the largest collections of its kind. The Atlanta Tiny Doors project features hand-painted miniature entryways throughout the city. And in San Diego, MOPA is one of the country’s largest photography museums.
From the Treasury to the White House, Washington D.C. is full of neoclassical architecture. In San Francisco, the “painted ladies” are colorful examples of Victorian architecture. Miami has the largest concentration of Art Deco buildings in the world. And the inspiration behind the Las Vegas hotel-casinos runs the gamut from Egyptian and Greek to French and Italian architecture.
Stories with a twist can be found on the screen and stage. Hollywood is the home of many movie studios (and famous actors). The Sundance Film Festival in Park City is well-known for screening top independent films. For live shows, Broadway in NYC spans 40 theaters. And don’t forget – Branson is known as the live entertainment capital of the world.
