Just in case you haven't heard, tomorrow is the big day when America will elect a new president. I'm not a big fan of crowds and waiting in line so I cast my vote last week (very forward thinking for a state that gets dissed for being stuck in the stone age). I look forward to the day when we will be able to vote online as long as it can be safely verified that my cat didn't vote 27 times for the candidate of the Feline party.
Whether you voted early or just want to wait for Tuesday to enjoy your free coffee from Starbucks, I'm giving you an opportunity to warm up your voting muscles by casting your ballot for your favorite work of art at the Nelson-Atkins.
Highlights from the Museum's 13 collections are available on our website. Here's a tip: If your favorite work of art is not one of the selected works listed under each collection, try entering the title or the artist in our Search box. Chances are that it may pop up anyway.
In honor of the election, I have chosen Canvassing for a Vote by George Caleb Bingham (above) as my favorite.
And don't forget to vote in the other election!
