For years, I have curated a weekly list of art events for friends, neighbors, and family members. Doing this is solely a passion project for me -- I like to keep a list of what I really want to see. If you miss an opening at a museum or gallery, check the calendar on my website and visit during the venue's regular operating hours. ~ Melissa Richardson Banks
