We have a state of the art performing arts center that just opened in Santa Monica and I am looking forward to sinking my teeth in :)<br /><br />Cashmere- great! University towns are the best- there is so much creativity going on...<br /><br />Lacey- Thank you and welcome to the blog :) There will be much more on Madame Chic as well in the future...<br /><br />Beth- You are very lucky- New York is probably the best place in America for the arts... there is so much going on!<br /><br />Rosalie- Hello and welcome! I have just had a look at your website- your artwork is really stunning. I attended an American University in Paris called 'Accent' for the majority of my classes and I also took one language class at the Sorbonne. I hope you have a marvelous time in Paris.<br /><br />Lisa- Oooh the opera and the symphony are my absolute favorite- they feel like such a treat, probably because those are the events the I attend the least. I'm so glad you've been inspired! xx<br /><br />Vintage Dreamer- I'm so glad you like the salon ideas. They can seem ridiculous- especially because most of us are not used to doing those sorts of things but they can be so much fun. Especially if you have some really great friends and champagne- you can make a night of it!The Daily Connoisseurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13843902889491327636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7682312585713348709.post-75267753843523208292010-11-18T11:57:51.420-08:002010-11-18T11:57:51.420-08:00Lovely post...inspirational.

I try to visit art galleries often and I love taking a trip into Chicago at least once a year to visit the Institute of Art. I have also found a newer theater company who have been putting on phenomenal performances. I really like your "salon" idea too...that has endless possibilities. : )Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7682312585713348709.post-80000887572352454692010-11-17T18:39:25.016-08:002010-11-17T18:39:25.016-08:00A long time ago, I left you a comment about how Vi...A long time ago, I left you a comment about how Virginia Beach seems like of devoid of the arts, and you encouraged me to look a little harder. :) I did! I've recently been to my first opera (Rigoletto - so fun!), and I've also been to some performances of the Virginia Symphony. I've seen some smaller plays and independent films...and it feels good. Even when I can't find anyone to go with me, I just go alone and enjoy some artsy time to myself. Thanks for the great advice.<br /><br />~Lisa (The Coastal Chicster - I changed my name...to my name.)Lisa D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01423949343150187576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7682312585713348709.post-27061146311461532002010-11-17T03:05:16.347-08:002010-11-17T03:05:16.347-08:00I am an artist so visit galleries often and mix wi...I am an artist so visit galleries often and mix with fellow artists. Your post has made me think of other areas I should be exploring such as theatre, music etc. What course did you do in Paris? It sounds great and I'll be going there.Rosalie Rigbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11780087487113526217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7682312585713348709.post-90055292499804483282010-11-16T19:27:38.124-08:002010-11-16T19:27:38.124-08:00Thank you for the kick in the pants. we are very f...Thank you for the kick in the pants. we are very fortunate to have so much around us here in Upstate New York (not to mention 2 hours away in the City.)
