Weekend Wear

My whole weekend was all about seeing art and being outside, which I guess isn't different from any other weekend except for the fact that summer seems to have arrived and there were a lot of art fairs going on. Saturday I checked out Pulse Contemporary Art Fair and discovered an artist whose work immediately made me smile, relax, think and feel refreshed.  Not only did I fall in love with Shantell Martin's work but she was wonderful to speak with.  And because you can never have too much art in your life, I stopped in to see a few exhibitions in Chelsea on the way, including Ken Price's installations at Matthew Marks. Later in the day I popped into work to get a few things done so on top of being a fun Saturday it was a productive one too!

Canada Day in NYC

Saturday, June 29 I celebrated Canada Day in Central Park.  Kind of strange, isn’t? The idea that there’s a celebration of Canada Day in New York City may be surprising in itself, but even stranger is that Canada Day actually isn’t until July 1 (today!).  

The highlight of the celebration for me was seeing/hearing Spirit of the West perform. Although, I’ve seen them in concert several times, it’s always special when you see one of your favorite bands in an unexpected place. Spirit of the West tunes have long been on my travel playlist; listening to them is like carrying a little piece of home with you wherever you go.  I also remember  when a night out wasn’t over until we heard the band play a cover of “Home for a Rest!" Lots of great memories attached to the music of Spirit of the West! 

Happy Canada Day!
