First Wednesday Art Walk in Jacksonville – Aug 5th, 2009

August 6, 2009 by Susanne Talentino

Yesterday I visited the First Wednesday Art Walk in downtown Jacksonville. I had a great time, despite the rain – actually, it wasn’t too bad. It sprinkled a little bit, but later on in the evening the rain clouds disappeared.

I picked up my map for the self guided walk from an ambassador dressed in a bright orange shirt at Hemming Plaza and started my walk. There is always a lot to see, and you never know what’s going to happen.

This time I walked through Hemming Plaza, where I found some great photos by Timothy Hall. Check him out next time you go by! He’s very talented. I also stopped by the “Earth Mandala” made in chalk before I headed to the library.

I visited the reception for “Reflections of the River” sponsored by Tree Hill Nature Center. Afterwards I visited the Gallery L in the Modis building for Allison Watson’s reception, and a whole bunch of other galleries in the area.

Although my feet were sore, I enjoyed the evening, and I would definitely recommend visiting the art walk in Jacksonville. It’s just great fun! I’ll let you know as soon as I post the video.
