Celebrate Creativity at the Visionary Museum!



A few weeks ago, Ms. Perll and I spent an inspirational morning in Baltimore at one of my all time favorite museums where one learns to expect the unexpected and find delight in the quirkiness of humankind!

Art work at the museum has been created by untrained artists who find their inspiration from within.

AVAM believes, "there is great power in not knowing what will or won't work" and they state, "as in science, ignorance often gives birth to genuinely new inventions...Discovering possibilities that others do not see is what visionaries do best."

After viewing the museum, we had lunch with a spectacular view of this sculpture and federal hill. Here is the advice posted on the cafe wall:
I am hoping to keep the same sense of delight and wonder as we create art in our magical trailer "treehouse" this school year and watch our new school building be constructed in front of our eyes. What an amazing opportunity for learning and inspiration!!!
