TAKE A WALK ON THE ARTIST SIDE

Christiansted businesses are collaborating on an event called "ART THURSDAYS". Art galleries, retail shops and restaurants are staying open late for a series of gallery walks scheduled throughout the season. The purpose of Art Thursdays is to strengthen and invigorate the St. Croix art community by extending a monthly invitation for the public to come out and be a part of St. Croix's enthusiastic art community. Participants working with the primary galleries include: Danica Art Gallery, The Goldworker, ib Designs, Maria Henle Studio, Crucian Gold, D&D Studio, Maufe Gallery, Watch Your Step Gallery, Art @ Top Hat, sakari and Yellow House Gallery to you - all at once.

Christiansted gallery and affiliated shop owners believe that having a collective open house will encourage people to "make a night of it". Grab a friend, explore the art venues, shop, and fall into one of the neighborhood restaurants to enjoy dinner. Gallery owners feel that having the event on Thursdays seems like a good idea since people's schedules are busier on Friday and Saturday nights with many other activities.

Artists are enthusiastic about the upcoming season of gallery walks. "It's social, it's fun, it's different, and it invites community participation on an otherwise quiet evening in town. Plus, with the holidays just around the corner, there's the shopping to consider!"
