ART WALK 2009

We had a wonderful weekend with lots of people out and about enjoying the Art Walk. In our school we had several pieces on display along with the 3D work including incredible puppets and papier mache dinosaurs. We also had acrylic tree paintings and graphite studies.

At Rita's South Windsor, Fred Astaire Ballroom Dance Studio, Uptown Consignment, and Campion's Pizza more art was on display. The Village at Buckland Court has an actual Art Gallery.

Most of the art is still up (with the exception of our school - we had to take things down to teach classes) and you can go check it out. We are planning to open the hallway to the Fred Astaire Ballroom Dance Studio this Saturday and Sunday for Memorial Day weekend from about 10 am - 5 pm. Please check the other locations for their specific hours.

We took pictures throughout the weekend - hope you enjoy them.

We would love to hear your comments about the Art Walk and suggestions of ways we can make it even better for next year.
