Oh Supreme Ruler, those “chestnuts” keep the lights on ... SAM is not an exclusively contemporary arts institution so it must feature historical shows as well.
God, I hate that "whatshertits" title. It may be cute in conversation, but looks so ugly in print. Anyway, I suppose we're stuck with for the duration of the exhibit. Ugh!
The Frye is not located in the downtown traffic mess, it has free parking, free admission, interesting shows, interesting permanent art, and it somehow keeps it's lights on. If it indeed has the same mission as SAM, it fulfills it with infinitely less hassle. There's no contest.
Wow, "Whatshertits?" C'mon, she deserves more respect than that. Anne is pretty awesome and I'm sure with your journalistic talent you can come up with something a little better than that.
The Frye does have the same mission as SAM.
