Brick Street Gallery Walk set for Friday

By Becky Hill

Zionsville — One of Zionsville’s premier arts events, the Brick Street Gallery Walk, will take place on Friday and will feature the original artwork of more than 90 artists. Forty-eight stores, galleries and restaurants will stay open beyond normal business hours for this evening event. Held downtown on Main Street at Hawthorne Street past Poplar Street, this is the event’s ninth year and it is sponsored by the Zionsville Arts Initiative.

“I am so pleased that we are able, in this tough economic time, to encourage artists and merchants to participate in this highly visible event,” says Liz Esra, event chair. “It brings a great many people in from all over and is a great chance to expose others to Zionsville’s many advantages as a community.”

The ZAI also is sponsoring the first ever ZAI Sculpture Garden in Lincoln Park as part of the Brick Street Gallery Walk. Eight-to-ten sculptors from Zionsville, Indianapolis and surrounding areas will display sculptures in this new event. Coordinator of the Sculpture Garden, Cynthia Young, said this is a good chance for 3D artists to showcase their work.

“Sculpture is definitely underrepresented in Zionsville, so this will give Gallery Walk visitors a chance to experience it,” Young said. “It is my hope to see public art represented in Zionsville with permanent sculpture as well temporary visiting ones.”

The BSGW will also feature “One Canvas-One Subject from Different Views,” where award-winning artists Mary Ann Davis, Rita Spalding, Jacobina Trump and Cathy Kravitz create paintings of the same subject, but will move their canvases for different images. The completed paintings will be sold by silent auction, with a portion of the proceeds going to the Riley Children’s Foundation’s Heart to Heart Fund. The paintings will be created in front of Wickliff Fine Arts and Robert Goodman Jewelers, and music and entertainment for art lovers will be provided by Matt Roush, Cocktail Sax, Willy & the Tease, Round Midnight, D.A. Young and Jon England. Zionsville’s Main Street will be closed for the event.
