A Day at the DIA: Beacon Museum is a day to remember. Exposure to all this creativity under one roof is infectious. ‘Awe-inspiring’ is just one word to describe a visit here.

As a little girl, I loved all things having to do with art. I took photos, I sang and was a dancer (Ballet was my thing) — all at a very young age. I was also an avid ‘Paint-by-Number’ kinda girl.

I could not draw a straight line to save my life and stick figures seemed my specialty. But, other than that, I did other ‘artsy things’ fairly well.

So going to the DIA: Beacon Museum for the first time excited me. It is a different kind of art experience. Artwork hung ON walls, hung FROM the ceiling and piled ON the floor. These are just some of the images you will see when visiting this monumental location.

And don’t miss the holes IN the floor. It’s fascinating to see this particular piece of art in person. Photos do not do it justice…
