ALPHA OMEGA ARTS

Simple pleasures are the utopian moments we have right now, but what about memorializing them with art? For Ernest's birthday, we headed to New Harmony, IN, an 800-person historic town with five art galleries, 12 works of public art, and 25 original buildings. Founded in 1814 by the religious group called Harmonists, the town designed to be a utopia. Yesterday, we purchased a watercolor by local artist Marsha Bailey that captures the iconic Harmonist Labyrinth for meditation. Memorializing simple pleasures makes New Harmony artists our tip of the week.
