Gallery Hop

Mary Brodbeck and Kristen Martincic at Hudson Gallery should be worth a gander (Kristen's work in particular).

Owens Community Gallery is is having a Christo and Jean-Claude exhibit. I've wrapped my house in anticipation for this (Gates above).

The Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Center will be showing 'The Golden Age of Political Cartooning' through May.

Great Art-Related Halloween Costume Ideas

Well it's that time of the year, and you need a costume. There's not much to choose from for us art lovers, so I thought I would give you guys some ideas to get those creative juices flowing. First we have Duchamp's 'Fountain'. This is great because all you need is some stylish sunglasses and you not only have a great costume, but I hear the ladies love it. Because, c'mon, what lady doesn't want to be making out with a sweaty urinal by the end of the night.

Christo and Jeanne-Claude's wrapped Reichstag is for all those planning on going as the same old boring mummy as last year- add some cardboard boxes and you have a work of art.

Pick your favorite primary and go with a buddy, with this Mondrian inspired costume.

Your kids will love dressing up in this adorable Jeff Koons costume.

And finally, I can only imagine the number of dogs I will see out with their owners on Halloween. So make sure your Fido is top dog in this 'David' costume. Guaranteed to be the talk of the party.

I suggest the Venus de Milo alternative for the girly/amputee dogs.
