FIRST ARTS STROLL OF 2011 RESCHEDULED FOR FEBRUARY 10TH

MOTHER NATURE DESIGNS A FLOOR PLAN...

Have you ever noticed how beautifully quiet it is outside when it snows? The sound of silence...

The weather has definitely reared its ugly head as they say, but is it really ugly? Mother Nature designs a wonderful floor plan...a tree to the right with bushes along the edge. Flowers... running parallel to the bushes about 12" apart. The flowers, bulbs, are in hibernation awaiting their "Debutant Ball" introducing Spring. Some bushes are still green with red berries, it's as if they are aware they are the "pantry" for the animals that need sustenance during the winter. Floor plans of the "interiors" of Mother Earth.

The snow falls, ever so quietly and softly, blanketing the earth almost protecting it and yet giving sustenance to the flowers that lay buried beneath the earth.

If looking at Mother Earth through a frame - the interior of a room would seem to appear that was so eloquently and gracefully designed by Mother Nature.

Ushering in the New Year with Mother Nature designing in a frenzy, we tend to become housebound and a little cabin feverish....we begin to look for something extra to do, even if it means we must go outside, and bear the sub-zero weather to break the fever...

...Join us with Firehouse Gallery on Thursday, February 3rd at 6 pm, as they celebrate opening for the New Year of 2011 with a new exhibit entitled "Interiors" and the first Art Stroll of 2011!

"Interiors" will be juried by Rosemary Celon-Gordon, an artist and Milford resident, is a graduate of the Paier School of Art where she studied interior design and architecture. Her work has won various awards and is in private collections throughout the United States and Europe.

The theme "Interiors" will take you to places where you never thought you would be...READ ON!

Opening Reception for "Interiors" starts at Firehouse Gallery, 81 Naugatuck Avenue at 6pm on Thursday, February 3rd and ends at 8 pm. Continue your evening by strolling down seven doors on Naugatuck to SoBoBo Art Gallery where February's Artist, Marian Doherty is exhibiting. See her work and listen to her explanation of time and space (interiors of sort.)

When you arrive at SoBoBo you will find a surprise guest - award winning chef, Scott Wiseman, owner of THE LAZY LOBSTER. He will be serving hot soup that will warm your insides...the warmth will travel from your nose to your finger tips to your toes.

Enjoy the space, enjoy the time you are spending with the visitors....once you feel it is time to leave make sure you go three doors down to ALPHA'S JOLLY JUG where a wine tasting will be happening. Enjoy the scent as you swirl the wine, enjoy the flavor as you sip, titillating your taste buds, warming you.

AND YES!!, you must head down Naugatuck and around the corner to
16 Broadway where you will find a new business - WILD EXPRESSIONS
- who is sharing the space with COLLECTED STORIES.

PLEASE, DO VISIT WILD EXPRESSIONS, and EXTEND THEM A WARM WELCOME to Walnut Beach and being a part of our Art Strolls. An unexpected surprise - Milford's own Tim Payson will be in attendance playing keyboard music!

At the same time take your time and browse through the COLLECTED STORIES!

WOW!! SO MUCH HAPPENING AT ONCE!!

How wonderful it will be to get out of the house and meet up with your friends and acquaintances!
