It’s now an old family phrase, coined twenty plus years ago from the movie ‘Crocodile Dundee’ . . . and “walkabouts” have been part of our lifestyle ever since.  Living in Vermont and not Australia, we tend to use our car quite often for what we probably should call “ridearounds” — but I love it when I can get to a city with a great number of art venues within walking distance.   A good place to start is monthly art walks in a city near you, such as the First Friday Art Walk in Burlington, VT.

If you find yourself in Providence RI, look for these great scenes on Wickenden Street.  You’ll love the lemon cake at Seven Stars Bakery and of course, no visit to Providence is complete without a stop at RISD‘s museum and great art supply store!

Isn’t an art walkabout just the perfect combination of “artist dates” and weekly walks?  Share your favorite walkabouts, and we’ll make Julia Cameron proud!
