Old Stone Age peoples were creating art by sculpting forms, decorating objects, and painting on cave walls. Art is a part of who we are. The symbols used in art are just as important to communication as letters and numbers. Art is a shared experience. A sharing of thoughts, feelings, opinions, and events. Napa Valley celebrates different art mediums, as well as the art of winemaking, next month during the 2014 Napa Valley Arts in April. The events scheduled during this special month in Napa Valley are numerous and include conversations with artists, artist receptions, art shows, art workshops, special winery tours incorporating art and special wine and food pairings, artist lectures, artist led tours, a Chalk Festival, and a sneak peek from the Napa Valley Film Festival. Spotlighted art forms include paintings, sculptures, glass, photography, performance art, pottery, and more. With the incredible amount of special events happening, it’s best to start planning now for which ones you’d like to attend. Here are a few ideas to get started.
