What the world needs

One of my favorite pieces of public art in this funky city is the ever-changing sign in the window of the Artist Studio Building on Congress Street. Located next to the Maine College of Art and upstairs from SPACE Gallery, this building provides creative digs to dozens of local artists. A couple times a year, the artists welcome in the public for a tour. Mark you calendars: the next open house coincides with the December First Friday Art Walk on Dec. 5.

Until then, just be sure to look up when you pass this building to get a dose of artistic inspiration or creative humor. When I saw today's message, I wondered if it's a not-so-subtle reminder to MECA's returning students that more lucrative employment can be found elsewhere? And while I appreciate an artistically dug ditch as much as the next person, I hope the art students stick to their guns (er ... paint brushes). Because as far as I'm concerned, there's no such thing as too much art. Especially when it's public.
