Real Art Ways
Even though we are (relatively) far from NYC, Connecticut has a few of its own art & cinema galleries to make us feel like city-folk. Real Art Ways is a great one, and they have some very interesting shows and features coming up, including the wonderfully horrible “The Room” (not for the faint of heart), and another one we are looking forward to: H.P. Lovecraft’s “Whisperer in Darkness”.

Whimsical Street Art
Here’s some pretty neat art by Filthy Luker (can’t say for sure if that’s his real name, but my guess is yes). His website has a bunch of other ones, he calls them “art attacks”. Neat! art attacks »
