Brenda Simon of the SBMA Museum Cafe on your TV!

Posted by tracey on: Thu 24th Feb, 2011

My reporter skills being non-existent I couldn't get much out of her, but tune in to America's Next Great Restaurant on NBC March 6 to see how Santa Barbara's Brenda Simon does in this new show from the creators of Top Chef and Project Runway. 

Brenda is the chef/owner of the Museum Cafe as well as a private caterer and chef at The Secret Ingredient.

The best part is, we don't have to wait for her to win, but can enjoy her food every day here at home.

ReBlog: Art is what we call...

Posted by tracey on: Fri 18th Feb, 2011

the thing an artist does.

It's not the medium or the oil or the price or whether it hangs on a wall or you eat it. What matters, what makes it art, is that the person who made it overcame the resistance, ignored the voice of doubt and made something worth making. Something risky. Something human.

Art is not in the eye of the beholder. It's in the soul of the artist.

--Seth Godin

ReBlog: 11 Ways To Love The Arts Everyday

Posted by tracey on: Mon 14th Feb, 2011

1. Locate the nearest artist. Give that artist a hug. (not one of those awkward half-hugs, but a really good one)

 

2. Buy some art from an artist whose work you enjoy. It feels really great, trust me.

 

3. Make some art. Paint, draw, make up a little dance to your favorite song, write a song, make a mini puppet show with your kids, write a poem, take 20 pictures of something that fascinates you, tell someone a really good story, make a sculpture out of something - anything, do an impromptu performance art piece for a friend or loved one by pretending to be 5 different inanimate objects in 5 minutes, do anything you desire that expresses your talents to yourself and/or the world.

 

4. Give someone else a work of art. Maybe it's the piece you bought, maybe it's the art you made.

 

5. Urge Members of Congress to Support the National Endowment for the Arts.

 

6. Support your nearest arts advocacy group/organization.  

 

7. Make a donation to one of your favorite arts organizations or artists.

 

8. Share a story of an arts experience that was meaningful to you or someone you know.

 

9. Declare your love and support for the arts through your social media (Facebook, Twitter, blog, etc.) For example, get the full size version of "I Heart Art because..." Print it out, fill it out, snap a picture, and post it.

 

10. Make a point, everyday, to recognize how the arts make your life and community richer and then share your unique passion and perspective with others.

 

11. Share this list. Add to this list. Make your own list.
