NEW SMYRNA BEACH -- April has arrived, and with it, Earth Month. A "Recycled Art Walk" will be held on Flagler Avenue in New Smyrna Beach, 10 a.m.-5 p.m.,
Saturday, April 25.
The Citizens Resource Group on Recycling will be on hand to present information about recycling in our community and what you can specifically do to help our environment: "Think Globally, Act Locally."
The Atlantic Center for the Arts Volunteer League will man a table and children will be shown how to make art with recycled materials. ACA will also offer information about their community programming.
"Recycled" art from Steve Hardock's students at Coronado Beach Elementary School will be featured in one tent on the avenue. The public is invited to view these works by future artists.
Plan to visit historic Flagler Avenue and take a fascinating stroll along the avenue while enjoying the wide variety of art works featured inside galleries, as well as works by dozens of visiting artists set up under canopies along the avenue.
Art Walk features painting, jewelry, ceramics, glass blowing, sculpture, fabric arts and more - entertainment, artists' demonstrations, and a special prize drawing presented by the Gallery Group of Flagler Avenue.
Be sure and get your Art Walk program wherever you see the blue and black flags with the white "gg" logo and get it punched at each of the four sponsoring galleries for a chance to win the prize drawing. *Jewelry of Joy*, 307 Flagler* *Ave., will donate this month's prize, a beautiful pair of silver earrings. The other sponsoring galleries are *Palms Up Pottery*, 413 Flagler;* Galleria di Vetro*, 310 Flagler; and *Ta Da Gallery*, 113 Flagler.
Rounding out the Art Walk attractions and fun are the many quaint shops, as well as a variety of dining options, for every taste and budget. Art Walk, a free event, is held the fourth Saturday of each month along the five-block area from the Indian River to the ocean.
Art Walk is a wonderful way to spend a Saturday in charming New Smyrna Beach. Come for the art and stay for a beautiful beachside sunset.
