			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>An art gallery may not be a place that many think of as an enjoyable destination for a night out or a date. However, these places really do have a lot to offer. Keep in mind that the atmosphere in galleries can change quite a bit, depending upon the location, the owners, and the style of art that is being displayed, so you may want to do a bit of research on various art galleries in your area before you choose one to visit.</p>
<p>Art Gallery openings are also a lot of fun, so if you hear of new gallery opening in your area, that is the night you will want to go. Take your spouse or a date and plan to have a great time. Dressing appropriately is important, so find out a little bit about the event. Many openings in cities and upscale areas will host only black tie openings, so you would feel a little odd showing up in jeans and a t-shirt. Similarly, other openings may be a bit more quirky, so again, find out ahead of time a little bit about the featured gallery and artists.</p>
<p>Often the style of art that is featured can lend you a clue as to the dress code. Classic and sophisticated paintings will be more formal, while a more modern and trendy selection will likely lend to a more casual atmosphere. In the end, if you still haven&#8217;t got a clue, you can always call the art gallery and ask. Any gallery curator or owner will be more than happy to help you.</p>
<p>Plan to have fun, but keep in mind that boisterousness if not really accepted in this atmosphere. It is best to speak at a low tone. Most of the time, everyone huddles together in groups or couples and speak quietly together about the art. This can be a great intimate atmosphere for a date, so don&#8217;t embarrass your date by talking too loud on inappropriate subjects. And don&#8217;t forget to listen. You may learn something.</p>
<p>It is a good idea to stay a safe distance from the paintings. These works of art are very expensive, priceless in some cases. You are not allowed to touch them, and you should be very careful if you are sampling items from the buffet table that you are not careless enough to have a mishap that would splatter on a painting. If you damage a painting, you will be required to pay for it.</p>
<p>An art gallery is an enjoyable, wonderful place. Dress appropriately, go expecting to have a good time, and share the experience with others. Your date will also enjoy doing something a bit different.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When you think about museums and galleries of great art, it is easy to think of Europe. Certainly with the Renaissance of the 14th to 17th centuries, the number of works of art surged. It was natural for galleries and museums to spring up to house these masterpieces. America, on the other hand, wasn&#8217;t even a country during this time period. Don&#8217;t let that fact mislead you into thinking that there are no great art galleries in the US.</p>
<p>As America grew, she became a country of great wealth and power. This attracted many Europeans to immigrate to America for a better life. These numbers have been artists such as Marcel Duchamp, who is considered the father of object art. He left Paris during World War I for the safety of America. The Roaring Twenties became a time of great change in culture, art, and societal norms in the US. America&#8217;s move to the forefront of the art world became most evident following World War II.</p>
<p>The 20th century brought American realism and modernism with artists such as Mary Cassatt and George Bellows. The American Southwest movement had notables including Bert Greer Phillips and Georgia O&#8217;Keeffe. Artist Aaron Douglas and photographer James VanDerZee were included in the Harlem Renaissance. The Depression brought about New Deal Art, and Abstract Expressionism was a popular Post-World War II art form including artists Jackson Pollock and James Brooks. More modern American movements included Pop Art and Conceptual Art.</p>
<p>As American art grew, so did US art galleries and museums to display the pieces. From the Atlantic to the Pacific, America has many huge cities, and each one has notable galleries worth visiting. Some of the more famous ones include the Art Institute of Chicago, the National Museum of American Art at the Smithsonian Institute and the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C., the Orlando Museum of Art, the Museum of Fine Art in Boston, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the San Diego Museum of Art.</p>
<p>If you are considering a career in art, don&#8217;t limit your education to just a good art school. Expand your horizon by visiting as many art galleries across the US or only in the state where you live. Collections constantly change, giving you opportunities to regularly expose yourself to a variety of art. There will be no greater thrill than when your own art is displayed in a gallery for all to enjoy!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Collecting various forms of art and paintings is a passion that art lovers find hard to resist. A classic piece of art can add that extra spark to the place where it is displayed. Whether the purpose is to give an aesthetic feel to one&#8217;s home or office or to flaunt one&#8217;s eclecticism, a painting can add an extra dimension to the ambience. However, the kind of art one intends to collect is a personal choice. While a passionate collector may be buying paintings to add to his private gallery, an interior decorator may suggest one to his/ her client to add to the “feel” of the ambience. Paintings are of different genres and it is up to the collector to decide the suitability of a piece of painting with the ambience where it is to be displayed. Whether it is an art gallery, home or office, the painting should be displayed in sync with the place. The art lovers know this very well and thus their focus is always on selecting the right kind of painting.</p>
<p>So if one is wondering how and where best select the finest paintings, their search ends with a good online art gallery. An online art gallery lets one select and order their kind of painting just at the click of a mouse.</p>
<p>As compared to the traditional art shops, an online art gallery offers easy accessibility and more variety. Traditional art shops can be very difficult to access for people who stay in far-off places. Traveling all the way to a good art shop is not only expensive and tiring but also is time consuming. Furthermore, due to lack of enough space, an art retailer may not afford to offer a wide variety of paintings to the customers to choose from.</p>
<p>Choosing the right piece of painting is also a lot easier with an online art gallery. The different genres of art, and paintings of respective artists<br />
are listed category wise in the site itself, which, on clicking, takes the user to the related paintings. Even a confused visitor can get his kind of paintings in no time with the search option that lets one type in the keyword and search for a particular art piece.</p>
<p>Once the painting has been chosen, it’s the time to buy it. To buy a painting from an online art gallery, all that is needed is just a single click of the mouse button. Just fill in the order form with the payment and address details and leave it to the art gallery to have it delivered at your doorsteps.</p>
