Art patrons have three opportunities on April 3, May 1 and June 5, to discover local and emerging artists while enjoying An Artful Spring in Avondale Estates.
Enjoy light appetizers and refreshments while experiencing art in casual settings. In keeping with Art in the Afternoon’s traditions, you will be able to talk with the artists to discover what inspires their work.
An impressive list of plein air artists, glass artists, pottery and jewelry artisans and fine artists have signed up for the first three Saturdays in April, May and June. Artists include Bart Webb, Jim Loftus, and Mohamed el Ganoby in April, Mike Melia, Holle Black and Jill Bates in May and Peg Blackley, Jessica Gonacha and Sarah Watts in June.
New this year, attendance is free. And yes, you can still purchase the artwork you love.
“This year, we’re focusing on emerging artists and affordable art in keeping with the economy,” says Jen Singh, Art in the Afternoon chair. “Another format change is the lack of ticket sales. The focus is truly on the artists and our patrons.”
