or it could just be Any Where, USA or even any living style... These are only a few that have popped into mind, but that is only one's interpretation of the "American Scene."
To see what others perceive to be the "American Scene" you must join us on Thursday, June 24th! Starting at 6:00 pm at Firehouse Gallery (81 Naugatuck Avenue, Walnut Beach - Milford) with an Opening Reception of the exhibit "American Scene." It is a jurried show and will be judged by J. Robert Greiner. Mr. Greiner is a graduate from the University of Nebraska with a B.F.A. in Education. In the U.S. Army he was a graphic artist. After his service he had two years of art training at the Pratt Institute in New York. For 32 years he was employed at Sikorsky Aircraft as a graphic artist. Mr. Greiner has exhibited his acrylic and watercolor paintings, mostly of the New England countryside, in Connecticut and Nebraska.
Afterwards, head down Naugatuck Avenue and turn onto Broadway to grab a bite to eat at Lazy Lobster (6 Broadway), enjoy the eclectic SoBoBo Art Gallery (17 Broadway) and find where unique meets sublime and over 70 local artists reveal their talents! The music of Andrew Hungaski will fill the air as you have a delicious treat from the Walnut Beach Creamery (19 Broadway) to end the evening!
Looking forward to seeing you!
