Columbus Mastering the Art of Aquatic Landscapes

We are getting together to talk shop and share techniques for building beautiful, healthy planted tanks. Whether you are currently struggling to balance your CO2 levels or you are looking for tips on hardscaping and plant placement, this session is meant to be an informal space to learn from one another. We will spend some time discussing the common challenges of aquascaping and how to create the specific aesthetic you are aiming for in your own setup. This gathering is for anyone who appreciates the craft of aquatic gardening, regardless of your skill level. The goal is to connect with other local enthusiasts, troubleshoot any issues you might be having with your current tank, and get some fresh inspiration for your next project. It is a great chance to swap advice and talk through the details that make a tank thrive. If you have been wanting to get more involved in the local hobby, please click the RSVP button so we can get a sense of how many people to expect.

Drunken Philosophy: "What is Art?"

Welcome to Drunken Philosophy, a casual, curious, social discussion club. Come grab a drink and a seat at The Oracle. Optional Discussion Questions * Defining Art: Plato viewed art as an imitation of reality can art even be objectively defined, or is it entirely subjective? * Artist vs. Audience: Arthur Danto suggests art is defined by its interpretation within the "artworld." Who ultimately decides what counts as art the creator, the critic, the viewer, or society? * Limits of Art: Duchamp’s "Fountain" challenged our boundaries of art. Can anything even ordinary objects or actions become art? * Art and Meaning: Kant argued true art should evoke "disinterested pleasure." Does art need to have a message or deeper meaning, or can it exist purely to please aesthetically? * Art for the Masses: According to Benjamin, mass-produced art (film, photography, digital media) can democratize culture. Does widespread accessibility improve art or diminish its value? * Art and Truth: Heidegger suggests art reveals hidden truths about existence. Has an artwork ever fundamentally changed how you understand the world? Can a work of art change the way an entire society views the world? * Art and Emotion: Tolstoy believed the purpose of art is to transfer emotions. Must art evoke emotion to be valid? * Cultural Impact: How do cultural backgrounds influence our definition of art? Could something be art in one culture but not in another? * Art and Skill: Does art require technical skill or craftsmanship? Should a portrait of a crude person be painted crudely? * Art Museums: Are museums gatekeepers of culture, preservers of history, or something else entirely? What role do art museums serve? * NFT Art: Does art lose its value or authenticity if it only exists digitally? * Moral Art: Should art strive to morally improve us as Plato and Tolstoy argued, or should it be free from moral duties, as Wilde proposed? * Beauty and Meaning: Can art still be meaningful if it isn't traditionally "beautiful"? What qualities might make an artwork significant beyond aesthetic beauty? * Rejection of New Ideas: Why do new artistic ideas often face initial rejection? Are groundbreaking works inherently challenging to accepted tastes, or is rejection more about comfort and familiarity?
