Textures, Textures, Textures



September, the end of Summer the beginning of Autumn – CELEBRATE! the change of seasons by taking an art stroll on Thursday, September 10th at Walnut Beach in Milford, Connecticut. It's the best time to start thinking about that special, unique gift for the upcoming Season(s) of Giving....Shop at Home for the Holidays!

Firehouse Gallery, 81 Naugatuck Avenue, is hosting an exhibit featuring “Textures.” At 6:00 pm join the artists and artisans and learn about their work. After the juried show and the chance to vote for the “Peoples Choice Award,” follow the melodious sound to Urban Antique Radio & Vintage Hi-Fi, 56 Naugatuck Avenue, to see a technological world of the past. You can’t miss them! Just look for the Hidden Mural on the side of the building. After you have listened to that sound of the past, visit Walnut Beach Café, 37 Naugatuck Avenue, and view the work of watercolorist, Kimberly Meuse. Her control of watercolors is mystifying! A Fine Affair may just have that gourmet kitchen gadget, one perhaps to give as a gift during this Season of Giving.

As you make your way onto Broadway, look up to the right over Lazy Lobster and see the Hidden Mural! To savor the taste of the sea you must stop by Lazy Lobster at 6 Broadway. Collected Stories, 16 Broadway, has that book you most likely couldn’t find elsewhere. If not, you will be inspired to buy a book that would be perfect to curl up with a glass of wine in front of a fireplace!

Look across the street to SoBoBo Art Gallery, 17 Broadway, where over 40 artists are now featured. Textures galore reverberate! Everything from altered books and acrylics, to beading and collages, to fabrics and faux leather, to metal and oils, to sculptures & terra-cottas. A place so intriguing, you are lured back again and again. Truly, a place where unique meets sublime! Speaking of unique you must visit Walnut Beach Creamery, 19 Broadway, to taste their homemade ice cream! A new flavor is MOO! - Strawberry ice cream with Oreo cookies! A cookies and cream with a twist!
