Next Middlebury Arts Walk of 2013 Season on July 12th
Pop-up Galleries, Sidewalk Chalk Art and Fire Spinning Just a Few of July’s Highlights

Tuesday July 9, 2013

The 2013 Middlebury Arts Walk season continues with the season’s third event taking place on Friday, July 12th from 5 to 7 pm. Festival on the Green’s first performance that evening immediately follows the conclusion of Arts Walks and participants are encouraged to stay downtown for the entire night to enjoy Middlebury’s cultural wealth.

    Middlebury Arts Walk is a free event (for artists, venues, and attendees) and is held the second Friday of the month from 5 to 7 pm. In many cases the art is on display all month long—not just that evening.

Featured Exhibits

In addition to 30 regularly participating venues, there are two pop-up galleries this month—hosted by SunCommon at 20 Main Street (Lazarus Building) and Marble Works Partnership at 63 Maple Street, Kubota Building, in the Marble Works. The SunCommon pop-up gallery will feature more than a dozen artists’ work on display featuring sun and nature themes. At Marble Works Partnership Nancy Scarcello, an artist, writer, photographer, picture framer and drum maker, will have a variety of art—nature photography, posters created either in traditional mediums of pen and ink or acrylic, as well as handmade and hand-painted drums.
Outside* of each pop-up gallery will be a performing artist, both of whom are new presenters at the Middlebury Arts Walk:

    Outside Lazarus Building, 20 Main Street: Andy Toy is an amateur chalk illustrator from Starksboro.  The vast majority of his work is temporary (some exists for as long as a couple of weeks, and some for less than 24 hours).  His work ranges in style from cartoons to landscapes, and often invites his audience to add to (or take away from) his illustrations once he has photo documented his labors. Andy works at Danforth Pewter in Middlebury.

    Outside Kubota Building, Marble Works: Christine Meola, an artist/performer from the Rutland area, who has practiced the art of fire poi (fire spinning) for almost a decade and performed at venues throughout the United States.

*Both of these artists’ participation is weather permitting.
