Instagram Post of The Week: Fun at The Spring Break Art Show

I finally made it to the first post-Covid Spring Break Art Show — an extra-fun art event that this year took place across two entire vacant floors of a fancy office building on Madison Avenue. Having each individual office or cubical designed with the artworks of an individual or group of  artists makes for a fantastically immersive experience.  At times, I felt like I was in a haunted house of art, losing my sense of direction as I wandered from room to room, being charmed and delighted to varying degrees by what I encountered.  Needless to say, but you can see I am about to,  it was very surreal and fun.
