The Art Of Brick

Mom and I had a culture date yesterday. We went to see an exhibit, The Art of Brick, at the Midland Center for the Arts by Nathan Sawaya; he is artist who creates sculptures with Legos. The exhibit it's self wasn't very big, but the pieces were incredible. The pieces were so intricate that from far away, they didn't even look like Legos any more.

We also walked around the other art exhibits and saw a lot of really great pieces....and some not so great. I can't understand how people can ask for hundreds of dollars for a print that a four year old can do...dumb. Anyway, here were a couple of my favorite pieces that were up for sale...

We spent a couple hours taking in the art and then headed out for lunch at Ruby Tuesday's....yummy yummy salad bar. Perfect mother/daughter date!
