Ten reasons for attending a painting exhibition

A painting exhibition plays a very important role in society. Attending such shows can make you think beyond ordinary, can take you to another world and might bring some changes within you!

I have already talked about a checklist for planning an art exhibition from an artist’s point of view. Today, we are discussing about the audience viewpoint.

If you are considering going to a painting exhibition but are not quite sure, here are my top ten reasons why you should definitely make it to the event:

1. You witness that there are no limits to creativity. Whether you are in a creative field like painting or not, some creativity helps in almost all professions. Besides, you get motivated to practice your favourite creative field in your spare time.
2. It’s said that creativity is like jewellery of the mind. Paintings are a treat for your eyes and jewellery for your mind.
3. Some art pieces will challenge you to think; some will just amaze you; you will just soak in the beauty of some while some will arise some other emotions within you.
4. Even if you have seen art pieces on internet/magazines; there is nothing like viewing a painting in person. You haven’t experienced a painting fully unless you haven’t seen it face to face and spent some considerable amount of time with it. In fact, the more you see it, you will discover something new about it every time.
5. Some paintings are an indirect invitation to an artist’s mind. You can take a challenge to analyse the painting to determine the painter’s thought pattern while making the painting.
6. Paintings have the power to uplift you, calm you and sometimes transform you. If you want a break from the hustle bustle of your busy life; attending an art show is your answer.
7. Attending a painting exhibition in which a group of artists are participating is quite interesting too. You realize how every person is unique and have their own way of expressing themselves. This in turn makes you realize that you are a unique individual too.
8. Attending a painting exhibition is a welcome change compared to going to malls, movies, markets or other usual activities you do in your free time.
9. If you are an artist yourself, looking at the works of other artists widens your horizons, helps you come out of creativity block, encourage you to paint more!
10. Lastly, may be you admire a painting so much that you end up buying it and a piece of creativity stays with you in your house from that day!
