Spring Art Walk
This Weekend.
The artists and venues
participating in Art Walk will be setting up
soon, preparing for a special weekend full of
artistic displays, music, activities, and food.
Held in Historic Carthage Square, Art Walk is an
event for people of all ages. This quarter’s
theme is Comics and Sequential Art, and work wil
be found from featured artist Sean Fitzgibbon at
UMB Bank on the Square. If planning to attend Art
Walk, The Carthage Convention and Visitor’s
Bureau says that these seven tips will help
attendees get the most from the event.
"1. Choose the Right Day
to Attend
Art Walk begins on Friday,
April 13th at 6pm with Date Night, and continues
on Saturday, April 14th with Family Day. Before
making plans for the event, choose the right day
to attend. Friday’s blend of art,
entertainment, and wine tasting is a perfect
option for couples and adults looking for fun
weekend plans, while the family-friendly
activities available on Saturday are great for
kids and adults alike.
2. Come Prepared for the Event
Art Walk is held in Historic
Carthage Square, so come prepared for an outdoor
event. Wear comfortable shoes, bring sunscreen,
and be sure to dress comfortably for the weather.
Venues across the square will have delicious food
and drink options available, so it’s also a
good idea to come hungry!
3. Bring Your Friends
People of all ages and
personalities love Art Walk, which makes it a
great event to attend with your friends. Catch up
with your best friend as you browse selections
from more than 20 talented artists, or visit the
wine tasting event with a special date.
You’ll have a good time at Art Walk
regardless of who you bring, but the event is
more fun when you join some of your favorite
people.
4. Chat with Artists
The artists who attend Art Walk
are passionate about their work and excited to
share it with new audiences. When you visit a
display, you’ll often find the artist near
his or her work along with some information on
the pieces. If you find a piece of artwork that
you love, don’t be afraid to ask the artist
about the design or the meaning behind the work.
Of course, you should be respectful of the
artist’s time, as he or she will likely have
other guests waiting, but be sure to take
advantage of this unique opportunity offered by
Art Walk.
5. Respect the Venues
The businesses and venues
participating in Art Walk do the community a
great service by working with this event. Without
their participation, it would be difficult to
find the space for artist displays and
activities! Be sure to treat all of the venues
you visit with respect. Be careful with food and
drinks, and be respectful of other patrons in
each establishment. With the cooperation of all
guests, everyone can have a great experience at
Art Walk.
6. Have an Open Mind
When you visit an event like
Art Walk, you’ll encounter new styles of art
and expression, so it’s best to come with an
open mind. Though you may not be familiar with a
particular style of art, this event is a great
opportunity to gain exposure to new ideas and
modes of creativity. With more than 20 artists
showing work, there are plenty of opportunities
to view a diverse range of artistic styles. Try
to see a little bit of everything and avoid
judgments until you’ve seen the work
closely.
7. Know What You Want
Though you should aim to keep
an open mind about the artistic work on display,
it’s also okay to be aware of what you like.
If there is a particular style of art you’d
like to purchase for your home, come to the event
prepared with a budget and information on
measurements so that you’ll know when you
find the right piece. Art is an investment, so
it’s important to choose a piece that you
really love. If you’re not ready to purchase
anything at Art Walk, be sure to ask the artists
you admire for contact information so that you
can reach them in the future."
Vegetable
Planting Calendar a Must for All Gardeners.
Both first time gardeners and
seasoned professionals can benefit from the
"Vegetable Planting Calendar" guide
available from University of Missouri Extension.
The guide provides a complete list of planting
dates and varieties that do well in southwest
Missouri.
"Everything from asparagus
to zucchini that is listed in the planting
calendar represents the varieties that provide
the best yield, quality and disease resistance
under Missouri conditions," said Patrick
Byers, horticulture specialist, University of
Missouri Extension.
The guide also deals with when
to plant certain vegetables by giving planting
dates for south, central and north Missouri.
"If you live within the
Ozarks plateau, you may want to follow the north
Missouri planting dates due to the possibility of
late spring frosts," said Byers. "If
you follow the south Missouri planting dates for
spring plantings, be prepared to cover plants for
frost protection."
The guide also provides
information on the following: how much to plant
per person; how much seed to purchase for a 100
foot row; row spacing; inches between plants in
the row; depth of planting; days from planting to
eating.
