The art season has officially started and I couldn’t be more excited. I’m purchasing plane tickets and scoping out inexpensive Airbnb‘s.
There is also the option for taking up an accommodation on a short lease to really soak up all that creativity around, but that may need some research on rental options and required paperwork (https://www.american-apartment-owners-association.org/tenant-screening/ could be good place to start). The latter is especially essential to steer clear of any undesired surprises later. However, before I leave, I have some must see’s and our own co-sponsored exhibit
( yes, we have an event for October!)
