Van Gogh Alive and so is downtown Phoenix
HI,
I had the pleasure of attending a special event this morning at the Arizona Science Center. I have been a member of the AZSC before, and have always loved it. Their capital campaign and revitalization of the facility has been fantastic. There are so many changes and improvements. The great thing is that these improvements aren't limited to the Science Center. More on that in a minute.
I attended the Van Gogh Alive exhibit. This is the US premier for this exhibit. While I have always appreciated fine art, and enjoy museums, I can't say that I really know a lot about any one artist. I did take a Italian Rennaisance class many years ago in college in Rome, but beyond that I am basically clueless. This exhibit is fantastic. I learned alot about Van Gogh and realized that cutting off his ear was just one aspect of this tortured soul. Could I have learned it on the internet? Yes, but I never would have had the wonderful experience of seeing many of his 2000 pieces in a show that covers his life in such a dramatic way. I highly suggest the exhibit to anyone. For more information, check out the AZ Science Center website
Back a few years ago when everything in real estate was going gangbusters in the Phoenix area, plans were drawn up for CityScape in downtown Phoenix. This along with many other projects were drawn up with the goal to bring life back to downtown. Unfortunately, many of the condo towers and office projects never made it off the drawing board due to the economic meltdown. Fortunately CityScape wasn't one of those. It is a phased project, and those phases have been put on a longer time table, but the project was started and it has definitely served it's goal. In addition to office space, it has entertainment including Lucky Strike Lanes, a large comedy club, new restaurants and more. I was talking with a few people who work downtown and they mentioned how the "vibe" is so different now. People are staying downtown after work and others now look at it as a destination for entertainment. It's no longer just about sporting events. I and many other look forward to more of that!
