People often ask, “How do I go about collecting original art?” Collectors investing tens of thousands of dollars or more are in a category of their own. But if that is not you, then the value of collecting art is in your heart.
The St. Patrick’s Day Parade, Annapolis Restaurant Week, and a celebration of Maryland Day are reasons to shake off any leftover pandemic inertia and get back out in full swing. I also want to call your attention to several learning opportunities that will help expand your appreciation of fine art and get those synapses in your brain firing on all cylinders.
When it comes to gift-giving, you don’t have to wait for Midnight Madness to find affordable, one-of-a kind gifts of original art. While the quantity of superb gift art is probably the greatest I’ve seen yet, I recommend you get out to the galleries soon, because the art gifts are flying off the walls.

Celebrated pianist
George Winston is revered as one of the foremost instrumental performers and composers of our time. In spring 2021, fans have an opportunity to spend three Sundays enjoying his masterful compositions while supporting select non-profit organizations and music venues that are in much need of financial support due to the hardships from the COVID-19 global pandemic. This weekend for Valentine s Day (February 14, 7pm EST), Winston presents A Vince Guaraldi Tribute Concert to raise funds for FEEDING AMERICA (LINK) as he performs classics such as You re In Love Charlie Brown, Be My Valentine Charlie Brown, and Time for Love. The event is free of charge, and donations can be made at helpgive.to/feedingamerica.
