Greetings from the Wine Cellar:

The North End Art Walk is back! This Friday evening, November 12th from 5 to 9PM, the Art Walk brings another fun and eclectic celebration of local artists to Main Street. An evening of art, music and culture in our great Historic Downtown setting, the Art Walk is a sidewalk-style art exhibition and sale, with local artists displaying their works both in and outside many downtown business establishments. The displays will include artistic formats such as ceramics, jewelry, prints & canvases, calligraphy, photography, glass and mixed media. Hope you can make it downtown to enjoy the art this Friday, and be sure to stop by the Wine Cellar if you do!
