Art By The Ferry Part II

I just wanted to remind people about the second weekend of Art By The Ferry. I went last Saturday to visit my friends Stephen Barnett and Shannon Foreshee who were exhibiting at the event and it was a lot of fun. The event is hosted at 14 different locations all roughly between The Staten Island Museum near Borough Hall and the corner of Victory Blvd. and Bay Street. The event features an extraordinary showcase of talent from Staten Island -- who knew there were so many interesting artists (hundreds) working in so many different media all right here on the Island?

The event is a great chance to go for a nice walk down in St. George, to listing to some of the musicians that are part of the show, show your support for the arts, have some food and even to pick up something decorative for the home. All the artwork is on sale, which is not immediately apparent from the press and advertising. The locations are all marked by a small blue and orange flag, and you can get this map of the events venues at several of their locations.



Art by the Ferry runs both this Saturday and Sunday from 11am to 6pm. You can get more information here: http://www.artbytheferry.org/Welcome.html
