Mystic Art in the Evening
Monthly Gallery Stroll
July 2, 2009
6 – 8 pm
July 2nd marks the one
year anniversary of the free monthly Mystic Art in the Evening
gallery stroll featuring seven downtown Mystic galleries. The stroll
is held every first Thursday of the month from 6 – 8 pm.
During the past year, roughly 730 guests participated in the
strolls, and recently, local restaurants such as The Captain Daniel
Packer Inne, Pizzetta, and Voodoo Grill have joined forces to offer
specials during the strolls.
On July 2, the route
will be marked with celebratory red, white and blue balloons outside
each gallery, and owners are expecting lively crowds for the
kick-off to summer.
Participants can enjoy a wide array of artwork and gallery
environments, free of charge, and printed maps of the stroll are
available at each gallery.
