Mommy Persecution
Before we got kicked out
Originally uploaded by katiek2.
My wonderful, talented artist friend katiek (and mom of two extraordinaire) got kicked out of a public exhibit at the High Museum in Atlanta. The reason? no kids allowed. Apparently, the artist, who was there, doesn't like kids.
What's up with that!?!?
That's her pic of her two kids at the exhibit before they got kicked out. (seriously, who could kick out Josiah and Eden!? Aren't they the cutest!?)
I'm just trying to find a category in my head to fit this in, but it's not working.
It's really a travesty.
I feel like if I were more political science-y I could say some insightful things about culture and society, but right now, I just feel the need to highlight this craziness!

What? Do they not go with the decor or something?? Ridiculous. They're the future, man. S/he should be looking on them not as hindrances to museum-goers, but as potential converts to the world of modern art, especially since their mom is obviously already into it! =)

Beautiful photo. Awful that they were kicked out.
Now the weird thing--I honestly, seriously think that I saw this artist on television just yesterday. I recognize the painting as a self-portrait. That painting was on the show. It was an old show--a long past rerun....of....Mr. Roger's Neighborhood.
I kid you not.

Kids kicked out of an art museum? And not for being little terrors?
Arrrrrrrrrrrgh.
We're on spring break. We brainstormed fun things to do. The top of my boys' list? DinoWorld. The Library. Ringling Art Museum.
I can't believe that someone who values art, wouldn't want to instill an appreciation to and exposure to art.
Btw, you've got to see this great pic of my boys when they saw one of their favorite sculptures:
