  1. Global Music + Local Arts: The Party Continues Saturday Thursday, September 10, 2009

    AVA Gallery Hop
    HelloWorld.show(); closing reception
    September 12, 2 pm to 9 pm

    Strap on your walking shoes and bring out your bikes because it’s almost time, art lovers, for the AVA Gallery Hop. On Saturday, September 12, from 2 to 9 pm, galleries, studios and fine art retailers will open their doors to patrons from all walks of life—inviting them to come in, have a drink or a snack, see some art, talk shop, and then shove off to the next venue and do it all over again.

    Gallery Hop 2009 will feature nearly 30 galleries and studios spanning the downtown area, from Northshore to Main Street to St. Elmo. This annual event, now in its fourth year, provides the public with a great opportunity to check out the local art scene and meet working artists in their studios.

    CreateHere’s 55here gallery space will host a closing reception for HelloWorld.show(); that same day, with live music from 6 to 8 pm and portrait painting by MakeWork 2008 grant recipient Mia Bergeron all day.
