Art on the Boulevard's "Art in the Heart" August 7 & August 8

"Art Lesson" by Oleg Ulitsky
Message from Kevin Weaver, Gallery Director, Art on the Boulevard:

I hope you are all staying cool and enjoying your summer! We are once again doing our annual "Art in the Heart" outdoor art event and sale for First Friday. This year's event proves to be even bigger and better than last year's. We'll have artists who are working in all different media and styles set up outside along the sidewalk (and a few inside the courtyard). Many of
the artists will be offering special one weekend only "festival pricing" on their work, some of the artists will be doing demonstrations of their work. This is a perfect opportunity to talk with the artists one on one, watch some of them at work and if you find something you love, pick up some artwork at a great price.

The event runs First Friday, August 7th from 4 to 9 pm and Saturday August 8th from 10 am to 4 pm. There will be food available from Woody's Taco's, Thai Orchid, Humdinger Kettle Korn and TC's Ice Cream. On Saturday we will have free art projects for the kids courtesy of Kidz Art.
Artists who are scheduled to participate this year at our location are:

Rebecca Anstine - watercolor and acrylic paintings
Oleg Ulitskiy - oil paintings
Lynn Walker-Webb - jewelry
Melisse Laing - quilt work
Katie Kelly - photography
Jan Taylor-Taskey - paintings & mixed media sculpture
