Lux Tip: Art is Meant to be Seen. Go See It.

Know what? Your local art gallery wants you to come look at the art. It's not all about money. You don't have to be a prospective buyer. Most art is made to be seen and digested by the public.

While an invitation to, say, the Louvre's special exhibition opening party might be hard to procure, your local art gallery is probably advertising their next opening in your newspaper or event magazine, and it is probably free!

Art openings often include free wine and free hors d'oeuvres, and always include mingling with interesting arty people and, best of all, the ART.

So, go to art gallery openings.

It's just another easy way to make life more lux for cheap or free.

I'm now convinced this column is intended to drive anyone with basic, intelligence, any level of class or sophistication, education, or simple good taste, mad with frustration.

It's "punk'd" for the blogs, yes? A joke -- a parody -- sponsored by The Onion?

If not, know what? It's the most clumsy, poorly written, low-class opening sentence of the group of "tips" thus far.
