The last Wallingford Art Walk of 2013 is this Wednesday, September 11th from 6 – 9 pm all up and down 45th Street.
Even the East end businesses, Wine World, Slave to the Needle, Kate’s Pub, Pudge Brothers, Frame Central, a Muddy Cup, Comics Dungeon and (long-time Wallyhood sponsor) Bedrooms and More are throwing down. See the line-up at right.
Over at Wallingford Center, the New Orleans-style brass band Tubaluba kicks off at 6:30 pm and Murphy’s will have acoustic guitar music by Travis Hartnett from 6:30 pm – 8:00 pm. Live music up and down the street! They even promise to have a Lyft car shuttling folks east and west to take advantage of all the goodness without wearing out your shoes.
I finally made it out to August’s Wallingford Art Walk for the first time in many moons and had myself a ball.
A finder of found audio objects had set up an interactive exhibit in from of Cutz Meridian, filled with Soviet, archaic and downright puzzling pieces of noise and light making. Passerbys of all ages were encouraged to twiddle the knobs and push the buttons. My son Zev spent a good half hour entranced.
Over at HR Block, I had a nice chat with Sacha Blue from Kirkland, who specializes in underwater photography. She’s got a whole set of costumes and props ready to go for all occasions (maternity, graduation, kids and family, you name it), and a host of pools and natural bodies of water at her disposal. The outcome is stunning:
One last time, for 2013. The weather should be lovely, take a stroll, grab your neighbors on your way out the door. Make an evening of it.
