#58: Overdose on Art (Friday, February 8)

Art is one of the most beautiful things on this earth. Each person takes something different from it. And it's also one of the many ways to enjoy life.

The Idea: Take some time out for art therapy. Visit a gallery, a museum, or even paint something of your own.

The Cost: Varies, but most museums typically have free nights so check their website for details.

The Benefit: Overdosing on art can only improve your frame of mind and bring you joy.

Testimonial: I've been doing a lot of art therapy in the last few weeks: the Caribbean Exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum in January; the Kori Newkirk Exhibit at the Studio Museum (where I discovered a Bklyn artist named Danny Simmons whose work really made me think); and the MoMA Design store where I got a cute green magnetic hedgehog to hold my paperclips.

Get your art on!
