Some 2015 Artist Date Ideas .



Only three weeks in to 2015, and I am already lapsing in my artists dates. Sigh.
Does posting about artist dates count as an artist date?

What Are Artist Dates?


"The Artist Date is a once-weekly, (minimum of 2 hours), festive, solo expedition to explore something that interests you. The Artist Date need not be overtly“artistic” — think mischief more than mastery. Artist Dates fire up the imagination. They spark whimsy. They encourage play. Since art is about the play of ideas, they feed our creative work by replenishing our inner well of images and inspiration. When choosing an Artist Date, it is good to ask yourself, “what sounds fun?” — and then allow yourself to try it."


I posted about my artist dates in 2014. Here are some ideas that I have for 2015 (including some of the artist dates that I didn't get to in 2014):

  • Listen to a Podcast: My #1 choice when it comes to podcasts is the website OnBeing a Peabody and Webby-award-winning public radio program and podcast that takes up the great animating questions of human life: What does it mean to be human? And how do we want to live? From ecology to autism to torture, Krista and her guests reach beyond the headlines to explore meaning, faith, and ethics amidst the political, economic, cultural and technological shifts that define 21st century life(Available on iTunes or NPR or on the website OnBeing)These podcasts offer incredible music, food for thought and are guaranteed to be uplifting no matter the subject (environment, depression etc.) And they are free!
