      Ending the week on a positive note, both my dog and I were sick, Betty and I headed over to explore a little spot of deliciousness called, Pi Gallery Bar.

      Located on the 2nd floor, above Clark Street Ale House at 738 N Clark Street, you’ll find artistic expression, scrumptious Neapolitan-style pizza, craft beer, and a warm environment.

       

       

       

       

       

       

       

       

      Various paintings hung gallery style line the walls.

      Various paintings by local artists hang gallery style along the walls…

      Like the ladies room door

      Or are painted on the environment’s surfaces like the ladies room door and…

      On the surfaces of the tabletops is the work of Pi's creator, general manager, and artist, Nick Martaus

      perhaps my favorite, the work of Pi’s creator, GM, and artist, Nick Martaus that covers all the cafe tabletops.

      Alright folks, Betty and I are out but first extending to you the invitation to get out there, explore, discover, look for artistic expression and best of all SHOW ME WHAT YOU DON’T KNOW!!!

       

      -The residual purpose of art is purposeless play. This play however, is an affirmation of life–Not an attempt to bring order out of chaos nor to suggest improvements in creation, but simply a way of waking up to the very life we’re living, which is so excellent once one gets one’s mind and one’s desires out of its way and lets it act of its own accord. -John Cage
