Things to do in downtown Mesa for cheap?
I was thinking downtown Mesa might be a good place to explore and I wanted to check out some museums! I remember a science center and art museum near the light rail…or was that in Phoenix?Is there anything similar to that? Maybe something in the same category, but completely different? I’m looking for someplace interesting and inexpensive. I’ve seen some free art houses before that you can just walk in…is there anything like that as well?

13th annual D.U.M.B.O. Art Under the Bridge Festival® (Sept 25 to Sept 27, 2009)
www.dumboartfestival.org/press_release.html

The three-day multi-site neighborhood-wide event is a one-of-a-kind art happening: where serendipity meets the haphazard and where the unpredictable, spontaneous and downright weird thrive. The now teenage D.U.M.B.O. Art Under the Bridge Festival® presents touchable, accessible, and interactive art, on a scale that makes it the nation’s largest urban forum for experimental art.

Art Under the Bridge is an opportunity for young artists to use any medium imaginable to create temporary projects on-the-spot everywhere and anywhere, completely transforming the Dumbo section of Brooklyn, New York, into a vibrant platform for self-expression. In addition to the 80+ projects throughout the historical post-industrial waterfront span, visitors can tour local artists’ studios or check out the indoor video_dumbo, a non-stop program of cutting-edge video art from New York City and around the world.

The Dumbo Arts Center (DAC) has been the exclusive producer of the D.U.M.B.O Art Under the Bridge Festival® since 1997. DAC is a big impact, small non-profit, that in addition to its year-round gallery exhibitions, is committed to preserving Dumbo as a site in New York City where emerging visual artists can experiment in the public domain, while having unprecedented freedom and access to normally off-limit locations.

Are gaming desktop good for digital art too?
I’m no good in finding good computers for max performance but I do need a new computer with the ability to hold up with my constant animations, and digital arts. I’ve set my eyes on this model:
Digital Storm Desktop 290291
but I’m not sure if I really need something this big. (nor am I sure dual screens work on them.)
If anyone could answer this or offer simple advice to the type of computer I should get to support animations (to 3-d also) and digital art.

Thank you.

Snow in Chinatown

I was recently given an Olympus Pen Lite (E-PL3) to test and evaluate and I’ve fallen in love with the dramatic mode. It’s an Art Setting that jacks up the contrast and saturation… and does a wonderful job of shooting in the snow.
