Janet Echelman: Taking imagination seriously

Janet Echelman found her true voice as an artist when her paints went missing -- which forced her to look to an unorthodox new art material. Now she makes billowing, flowing, building-sized sculpture with a surprisingly geeky edge. A transporting 10 minutes of pure creativity.

The Walters Art Museum

Hashiguchi Goyo, the last of Japan’s great ukiyo-e printmakers, captured the spirit and the dynamic visual character of the pre-war era.
The tagline for the Walters Art Museum is "What Will You Discover?" and its website offers up a fine mélange of art pieces, along with information about their talks, lectures, and other events. Young people will enjoy the "Waltee's Quest" video game here, which gives them the opportunity to win a virtual gold coin. It's also fun to look over the Works of Art area, as it has a great range of categories to browse through, such as Ancient Americas, Ancient Egypt and Nubia, and Ancient Greece.
