On Saturday, from 2 to 5 PM, December 8, sixteen of Port Orford's colorful art galleries and shops that feature arts and crafts are hosting a Christmas Art Walk. Bundle up to enjoy art, music, gifts, refreshments and, at around 5pm, the lighting of the Port Orford Crab Pot Christmas Tree at TriAngle Square. The "Heaven and Nature Singers" will be caroling at different spots along the way. Warm up with an Irish coffee at Paula's and/or a Christmas Cocktail at Red Fish. Dinner with friends at one of our great local restaurants would be a great way to end the evening.
Each shop (list below) is lovingly preparing something special for our town to enjoy.
To mention just a few of the highlights: Jewelry by J. Roemen at TriAngle Square Art, "Let Heaven and Nature sing" at Pat Rice's Art Nook, great music at Rick Cook's, stained glass sun catchers at Agate Gardens, Frames painted by Joyce at Uptown Frames, hand painted art wear at Freshwater; jewelry from Sherry's world travels at Johnson's gallery, Dan's Christmas drinks and hugs from Albert at Siren's, Christmas cakes and chocolates at Susan's Chocolates, gorgeous quilts at Quilters Corner, Joan Geiser's art at Hawthorne Gallery and many new works by local artists at all the galleries.
Donna Roselius has made a map of the December 2012 Art Walk available at the following participating shops: Finch's Art Gallery, Dad's Coins, Siren's Cove, Susan's Chocolates, Powder House, Uptown Frames, Agate Gardens, Johnson Gallery, Rick Cook Gallery, Artist's Nook, TriAngle Square Art Gallery, Quilter's Corner, Dana's Trading Post, Point B Studio, Freshwater Gallery, and Hawthorne Gallery.
