#939 Holidays Art-making inspired by Ran Hwang at Artis-Naples

Another fun activity leading up to the holidays… we attended a special family event hosted by @artisnaples earlier this week.  It was specially curated to commemorate their current exhibit of the Korean artist @ranhwangstudio — whose immersive art installation is installed on the top floor of the Baker Museum — just adjacent to the fabulous @chihulystudio “Persian Seaform Ceiling” which I swear is the best kept local secret of all time (I would go time and again just for that art ceiling). We all took home a gorgeous holiday ornament inspired by the artist @ranhwangstudio ✨✨✨ and the rest was history.  #tistheseason

If you do happen to be by the area, I really recommend this cool museum.  Dazzling installations by glass artist Dale Chihuly include a fiery cascade of a chandelier and an illuminated ceiling layered with many-hued glass bubbles, glass corkscrews, and other shapes that suggest the sea; alone, this warrants a visit!

Additional details about the event:

Make-and-Take

#934 Spectacular Factory — the Holiday Multiverse at Artechouse

Happy Christmas Eve! As I look back upon in recent months and our 2022 expeditions — I realize that I almost forgot about all the #holidayfun we had in DC back in November when I journeyed down with my little munchkins (one of them not so little anymore) over Thanksgiving Break! We had loads planned on the itinerary (miraculously all achieved and executed)… one of our activities included visiting the @artechouse for their limited holiday pop-up series “Spectacular Factory — the Holiday Multiverse.” It is display until 1/8/23!! I highly recommend it if you’re in the area…  both in NYC and DC. 🦌🎄💂🏼‍♂️🎁 #tistheseason #immersion #artechousedc 

#933 “A Christmas Carol” at Ford’s Theatre

Another all-time holiday favorite — who can resist a good re-telling/ production of “A Christmas Carol” 🎶🎅🏽🎩 — we were so lucky to have caught this very special staging of Charles Dickens timeless classic at the @fordstheatre {aka when Lincoln was assassinated} when we were down in DC — apparently they brought President Lincoln across the street into what is today a sandwich shop? 🤔 The boys had a great time @fungkface is the best Ebenezer Scrooge! 

About the show:

Join the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future as they lead the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge on a journey of transformation and redemption. Originally conceived by Michael Baron, this music-infused production captures the magic and joy of Dickens’s Yuletide classic. Acclaimed actor Craig Wallace returns to play Ebenezer Scrooge in a production heralded as a “rich visual and vocal treat” (TheaterMania) and “infectiously jolly” (The Washington Post).

Length: 2 hours with one intermission. Recommended for ages 5 and older.

#931 Beyond King Tut Exhibit NYC

It’s our last night in NYC for 2022!!! We rounded out the evening with a fun family excursion to see the @beyondkingtut immersive exhibition at #southstreetseaport — the exhibit is only on until Jan 1, 2023 — so go catch it if you can!! #nyc #pier36 🛕🐪 🔎𓂀

About the show:

A new immersive storytelling exhibition, Beyond King Tut: The Immersive Experience (@beyondkingtut), created in partnership with the National Geographic Society, is now open in NYC for a limited time and brings the magic and mystery of Ancient Egypt to New York City! In celebration of the 100th anniversary of the discovery of King Tut’s tomb, Beyond King Tut will open at Pier 36 for a limited time!

The new multi-gallery, multi-sensory immersive experience brings King Tut’s story to life and whisks guests on a time-traveling adventure to Ancient Egypt. With nine galleries to explore (and photo opps galore!), Beyond King Tut: The Immersive Experience unlocks the 3,300 year old story of King Tut – his rule as a child pharaoh, his family, the discovery of his tomb and the mysteries surrounding his early death, and his journey to the afterlife. Fun for all ages, the exhibition combines the power of cinematic storytelling and soaring imagery to invite visitors into the golden king’s world like never before.
