Art Ball, Salon 100 Prom

Brent and Brenda got tickets to the Springville Art Museum's annual Spring Salon Art Ball. Brent ended up having to be away, so Brenda invited me to accompany her. I readily agreed as I love the Spring Art Museum, I love the Spring Salon, and a love a ball. I don't go to many balls, but it was an offer I had no desire to refuse. 

Brenda and I met up with some friends of theirs from Virginia (I think) and wandered around the museum as we waited our turn to get dinner. There were some really terrific pieces. I also like to select one or two I would buy if money were no object, and I found several I quite liked. Below is one I would have selected. It is by the artist Rebecca Klundt and is called God's Good Cup. The picture has a poem attached to it that reads, 

God's Good Cup

Pours Our Light

on a Soul as Black as Night

I see each of those blocks as blessings God is pouring out on each of us, even if life feels dark and hard. There is an abundance to overflowing, a continual shower of goodness from a loving Father in Heaven. Visually, I just love it.  

 

On the upper floor of the museum, they had an exhibit of works the museum had purchased during each decade of the last 100 years. Brent and Brenda had several of them that they borrowed when they were living in Taiwan that hung in their residence. They were really terrific too. It was fun to learn about the history of the Spring Salon and feel cultured. Dinner was delicious, the conversation stimulating, and to cap it all off, there was gelato being served in the basement and we got there when there wasn't a line. While we did not dance, we did poke our heads into the gym next to the museum that was part of the school that the museum was created from. Very little has been done to the gym in what seems like 50 years. It would be a great venue to film a movie set in the 60s. It was a super fun evening and I was delighted Brenda invited me. Maybe we can go again next year with our husbands.
