Finding Ideas for the Artist Date

If you cannot think of ideas for an artist date and you live in Topeka, KS I have some local ideas that you might try out.

First Friday Art Walk

The first Friday art walk is something that the city of Topeka had put together that happens (you guessed it) the first Friday of every month. You get the opportunity to be inspired by local art and maybe meet some artists that created them. Here are some of the locations involved in these festivities (brought to you by Google maps):




If Art Networking Isn't Your Cup of Tea

Think about your interests. If you like sports, go watch an event by yourself or find an open gym. If you are wanting to see a movie, you don't have to go to the theaters with someone else. The possibilities are endless and if you run out of ideas, Google is right there ready to help.

Get in touch with nature. Find a local nature trail. Go cloud watching, or star gazing. Take time to notice things in your own back yard. 
Once you get in the hang of hanging out with yourself, the ideas for the artist date will naturally start flowing. That is the best part, your creativity will start feeding onto itself.

  4. I know I am so glad that Topeka has an event such as First Friday. I know I have always had fun when I go. Of course, most venues have free food and for me that is enough for me to enjoy myself.
