I agree with Becci Starr,the Art Walk could benefit from fresh input,and perhaps a more open,relaxed attitude. A few years ago some friends and I (all painters) came here, thinking we could just sort of"join up"in the Walk,but no, "we hadn't registered, it was all full,.." and blah blah...We went on the walk anyway,and saw some very captivating work as well as the usual sentimental scenes aimed at tourists. What we did like the best,-and ended up doing ourselves,-was the artists that were out of the official loop. They just set up on the sidewalks, maverick-style,with their displays.There was some really fun,exciting pieces in these tag-along exhibits.So I'd say keep it geographically cohesive, and let anyone interested be in the show.
