Human Art

I decided that in order to start finding my other interests, I have to take a step away from the college scene of whack out until you black out and go on adventures that are going to actually have some enhancing effect on me. So, this past week I downloaded the Phoenix New Times app and went to town on researching the hip happenings that were going down all around the valley. It was not long before I found my first must do.

Holi, a religious spring festival celebrated mostly by the Hindus, mainly in the countries of India, Nepal, and Sri Lanka. This colorful holiday is 16 days of celebration at the end of the summer, ushering the new  spring season;  the season of love. 

I have admired this now worldly holiday for years and when the Phoenix New Times told me The Firehouse, an eclectic art gallery in downtown Phoenix was having a makeshift of their own, I knew it was an adventure I needed to definitely jump in on. And why go alone when I can drag my girlfriends along with me!? Shaina, Talor and Lucy joined me at the colored water and powder throwing festival, and saying we had a FAAAABULOUS time is an understatment. Especially considering we walked in looking like this.. 

Upon arrival at The Firehouse, we walked into an artistic heaven. The inside of the comfortable joint was a low key store with tons of art pieces made by all of the local artists that lived in the small quarters. We were directed to go around back where were able to dive into a grown up water fight wonderland. Not as formal as I expected the event to be, but in my opinion that enhanced the experience tons. Being able to throw paint and colored water at complete strangers by the bucket was awesome!

For the first a weekend adventure, I think we made a great choice!
