Happy May everybody, it looks like Spring has arrived and brought Art Walk-worthy weather with it. Participating businesses will be easier to spot this month, as the Art Walk committee is rolling out a fancy new set of sandwich boards, plus you’ll have the opportunity to enjoy the new mural on the side of Bottle Works, the Wallingford Art Walk robot.

- Julia’s Restaurant– Painter, Levi Hastings
- Fuerte Fitness – Painter, Susan Ciacco

- Bargain Fair Thrift Store – Photographer Graham Clark
