Morris Museum of Art

I have a couple of rants about the Morris Museum of Art that I need to voice. There are so many things that one can say about the museum, but here's what I have today:

1) They decided not to include any of my work in their current folk art exhibit. While this isn't terribly disappointing (I don't exactly expect to ever have my paintings hanging in such an institution), I am disappointed in the fact that the Morris' apparent definition of 'southern folk art' is anything including poor drawing/painting skills, lots of words written on the painting, and lots of Jesus. But to each their own. Who am I to judge? My painting abilities are far from great. But I know that and I have no delusions about it.

2) While in the museum I got chided about having my cell phone on. I wasn't chatting loudly on it, or trying to take pictures; I was merely trying to send out a quick text, when I got scolded by the museum security guard. Why did I get chided? Was I disturbing other museum guests? No. I was scolded because apparently cell phone usage of any kind 'interferes' with the security guards' radios. Which are absolutely necessary to protect the museum from....
