Art Show

Today, at work, we are having an art show. The artists are children of the legal department employees and the art work is hung up all over the halls with titles, descriptions and the artists pictures. It is super cute and very creative. Gracie did a painting for my office that I entered in the show. Her and my mom will be coming down this afternoon for a tour of all the art. Here is an email that went out this morning about it:

Dear Patron,

The Sunnyvale Metropolitan Museum of Art cordially invites you to the official debut of the Legal Department's Second Children's Art Show at 4 p.m. today in the Aquaman conference room (award ceremony at around 4:30). A number of leading artists represented in the exhibition will be in attendance to sign autographs and to answer questions about their work.

We hope that you will join us for this unique opportunity.

As a special inducement, artist Talia S will be passing out copies of her book, "The Oceanic Suchness of Endless Becoming: Shamu's Life In Water-Based Media."

Museum crews are already hard at work unpacking and installing paintings in the galleries. Installation will continue throughout the day so please use care not to remove wall-mounted post it notes or to disturb our laser levels and scaffolding. Please also excuse the sound of our drills, hammers, and hoisting cranes--we will strive to minimize noise as we erect the largest exhibition of art ever assembled ... on the second floor of Building D.

We encourage you to enjoy the diverse talents represented in the Show but please remember: A painting is fragile and may be damaged forever by the gentlest brush of your fingertips. In fact, most damage is caused by innocent touches. Yours may not seem like much, but a million visitors’ touches will destroy a painting, a drawing or a photograph so please--help us preserve these works for future generations. Failure to abide by the hands off policy could result in your immediate removal from the property without reimbursement of your cost of admission.

Also, and not so incidentally, you may make an artist or their parents cry.

Thank you for your cooperation.

The Management


Did I mention that this is a great place to work?
