Art in a church basement?Yeah, right.
If that's your take, you're going to miss an opportunity Memorial Day Weekend, when the Bishop Street Artists (St. Albans) are holding their almost annual Art Show & Sale.
This is a beautifully informal and fluctuating group of artists who come together every Thursday morning to work. No Robert's Rules, no Board of Directors, no officers, no business meetings; just watercolor, acrylics, oils, collage, and on-going experimentation in an atmosphere of curiosity and passion. Except for Thanksgiving, and maybe an occasional Christmas, they are always there, in the basement, the door of which opens onto Bishop Street. The synergy of the group and dedication of the members results in a show with a wild variety of styles and subjects--enough for everyone. Definitely should be on your list if you are in the area:
St. Luke's Episcopal Church (top of the Park in St. Albans)
At the Side Door on Bishop Street
Friday & Saturday, May 29-30, 2010, 10 a.m. - 5 p.m.
Artists' Reception: Friday, May 28, 2010 6 - 8 p.m.
(Lots of food -- no wine; hey, it's a church!)
