ART WALK  After the presents have been opened, favorite foods have been enjoyed, and everyone has had a chance to catch up on the latest activities of those dear ones, an evening of art and exploring beautiful, historic Downtown Biddeford may be just what the doctor ordered. SO, on Thursday, December 27th from 5 to 8 PM, stroll the streets of Downtown Biddeford and stop in at all of the businesses flying red balloons outside their doors. Our monthly ART WALK is increasingly popular and provides an enjoyable opportunity to meet many of the diverse group of talented local artists. The featured artist at Gallery 265 this month will be Elsie Reese, so please stop in to meet her, enjoy some light refreshments, and run into old friends and new acquaintances. We will look forward to seeing you. |
