Add Art To Your Life

Original artworks are the products of brilliant and focused minds and are powerful markers of time and space.

So… if you haven't started already, you're going to want to begin adding art to your life.

A good way to start collecting art is by spending about the same amount you would on a nice dinner. That way, you can always fall back on the fact that while the meal would be gone, the artwork is yours to keep and enjoy.

Once you've done this a few times, you'll discover your own reasons for continuing to acquire and collect art. Your motives will evolve and your tastes will be refined through experience and education while a personal story emerges based on the decisions you make.

You'll also see how the artwork you own becomes a part of your daily routine and adds to your life in unexpected ways. As you make your coffee in the morning, you will spend a minute or so with that painting, it's active brushwork complementing the caffeine. While you get dressed, that carefully constructed drawing will mimic the care with which you pair a shirt with your pants. As you check the time and grab your keys, that lovingly crafted work on paper will see you out the door to face the day's challenges.

Truth is that most commercial galleries don't offer too many original works of art for the price of a dinner, but wait… wait for it...

Come to the DiverseWorks' Luck of the Draw Auction! For around $100, you'll not only go home with an original artwork, but you'll be supporting Houston's vibrant art scene and also enjoy a great party. See you there!
