With museums and cultural centers closed, what's an artful aesthete to do?
Well, the Museum of Arts and Design has curated an amazing collection of digital events for patrons and plebeians alike!
Our favorite of their programming? Luminaries Live! A weekly happy hour starring a fabulous guest artist, and Luminaries co-chairs Alexander Hankin, Christina Senia and Timo Weiland.
Watch some of the most creative minds du jour discuss their careers, make some on-the-spot art, contemplate who would play their parents in a TV movie of their life, and even do a deep dive on their music taste.
Pour yourself a drink (it is a happy hour after all!), grab some paper in case you get inspired, and tune in each Thursday at 5:30PM. Email patrons@madmuseum.org to receive the ZOOM link!

And now, I leave with you this Salvador Dali brilliance:
View this post on InstagramSalvador Dali was born #onthisday in 1904. In addition to his iconic Surrealist paintings, his jewelry pieces are some of the most recognized in the world for their originality. After a collaboration with fashion designer Elsa Schiaparelli in the 1930s, Dali began making jewelry. His pieces often included human-like features or well-known themes from his paintings. The artist, who was featured in the 2011 Picasso to Koons: Artist as Jeweler exhibition, was once quoted on jewelry's place in art and said, “Fulco and I, we tried to discover if jewelry was made for painting or if painting was made for jewelry. However, we are convinced that they were made for each other. It is a marriage of love.” _____ #SalvadorDali Ruby Lips Brooch, 1949. Gold, rubies, cultured pearls #MuseumFromHome
