Chase Those "Blues" Away...

What a Way to Chase the "Blues" Away...

 As we entered into the Spring Solstice we found ourselves wanting change from the cold, dreary, "blue" days of Winter...and yet the cold is still here...snow is still haunting us...

...Well, there is a cure that we can all do to chase those "Blues" away! Just join in on Thursday, April 14th as we meander about Firehouse Gallery - 81 Naugatuck Avenue - taking in the new exhibit called (how appropriately) "Blues." The evening begins at 6:00 pm where awards are given and engaging discussions are abound.

The artists/artisans challenge for this exhibit was "...to focus on work primarily using the color blue, reflecting the mood, the music genre, or anything relating to the definition of blue."

This event will be juried by visual artist Susan Scott of Cheshire, CT. She was educated at Central Connecticut State University where she achieved her painting and art history degree. She exhibited in galleries and venues both locally and nationally.

Well if there isn't cause for celebration now is the time to! Enjoy a "chaser" of the blues by strolling done the "Avenue" to SoBoBo Gallery - 42 Naugatuck Avenue - where the Exhibit Reception for April's Artist Charles Bell is happening and you can enjoy the fruits of the Art of Brewing by a surprise guest!

After visiting SoBoBo you must continue on down three doors to Alpha's Jolly Jug - 38 Naugatuck Avenue - where a wine tasting will tease your taste buds, and the aroma of the scent will titillate your senses...

and then end the chase at Wild Expressions and Collected Stories - 16 Broadway - where the floral scents envelope you and the aromas emitting from the fictions and non-fictions capture you will calm the feeling that you must flee and will bring you back realizing that the "Blues" of Winter are finally gone! Spring has Sprung, and Summer is just around the bend....

What a way to chase the "Blues" away!
