The holidays will be here before you know it!  And we thought we’d do a little two-for-one post and celebrate “Go to a Museum Day” along with a creative little gift guide of ideas for unconventional holiday gifts!  You can spread a little bit of holiday spirit and kindle the spirit of creativity at the same time. Whether you choose to gift an art print, a framed original, or some other creation, it’s going to be a memorable present. Or consider “gifting” an experience like a day trip to a museum, theater membership, or even a painting or drawing class.  Check out our suggested destinations to explore!

Today is STEM/STEAM day, and we’ve rounded up some picks for incredible gift giving ideas to inspire young Engineers and Entrepreneurs!  The Arts and “STEAM” programming are a vital part of any person’s well-rounded education.  Without support for STEAM/Arts education, society would truly struggle to advance forward as a society.  It is the strength of the vital bond between science, math, engineering, art, and mathematics that help us create new technologies, find creative solutions to real-world problems, and take incredible leaps in progress!  So let’s all do our part to support Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics in our communities.  Consider gifting some resources or funding to local organizations that provide STEM/STEAM activities for our local community and youth.  Together, we can inspire these bright young minds and work towards a brighter tomorrow!
