We hit most of the art museums in the places we visit, but we also search out the commercial galleries. The local art tells you a good deal about the people, their values, their vision. An artist can only exist when people buy what he/she creates and thus the art is a mirror to the community. As well, the media tell you about the area. Murano has its glass and Spain its leather and England its ceramics. The photo above is of a gallery in Prescott Arizona where some talented folks work in a variety of media; these being made of wood.
