BRUNSWICK---Music and art will again be combined for the 2nd
Friday Art Walk Friday, August 8 from 5 to 8 p.m. in the Brunswick downtown
area.

Musicians will be located throughout the ArtWalk: Stan Davis on
guitar playing folk and blues music, will be at the Tontine Mall; Randy
Lindsay will be strolling the streets with guitar, providing easy listening
and jazz; Married with Chitlins, Chris and Liz Lannon, an acoustic music
duo, will perform traditional American folk music at Cool as a Moose;
Pretty Girls Sing Soprano, Susan Bean Mathews, Ingrid Ayer-Richardson and
Shelly Hatton Kirkpatrick, harmonize to sing a variety of genre at Gelato

guitars and other stringed instruments, will be at the Bank of America with
acoustic blue grass, and Kevin Wyman from The Music Center will play rock,
blues and jazz.



Bridget McAlonan's art is featured on the August ArtWalk poster. Bridget
explains, "The Gathering" is based on a dream in which, after feeling
raw and cold from the long winter, spring and summer come along bringing the
lush green. The image tells me that even though something might seem
imposing, or perhaps dead and scary (like bones) there is still the
potential for life and growth." This painting is among several of
McAlonan's that are currently on exhibit at the Frank Brockman Gallery
located at 68 Maine Street.


The 20 exhibit areas located throughout downtown range from St. Paul's
Church on Pleasant Street to Maine Street, and right and left onto Maine
Street. Access to these venues is simplified with the free services of the
Brunswick Explorer which circles the art show route throughout the evening.
ArtWalk flags identify the exhibit areas and bus stops.

Twenty Brunswick restaurants are sponsoring the 2014 season along
with other area business, all listed in the ArtWalk brochure, available at
www.5raa.com. This 26-page brochure includes a map with locations of all
the artists, a list of the performing artists and musicians, a list of
sponsoring restaurants, and a map showing the route of the Brunswick
Explorer.
