Garage Galleries event showcases local artists in garages
O
n Saturday, August 28, 2021 from 2-7 p.m., Forest Park garages will become de facto art galleries at Garage Galleries Forest Park, A Neighborhood Art Walk. Garage Galleries Forest Park is a free, volunteer-driven neighborhood art walk, coordinated by Lin Beribak, Susan Cross, Andrea DiFebo and Rick Wagner from the Forest Park Arts Alliance. For the 7th year, residents throughout the neighborhoods of Forest Park will host local area artists in their garages to display their work in a casual, familyfriendly, “art reception” atmosphere. We are pleased to hold the 2021 event with over 50 artists in 24 garages across Forest Park. Each garage hosts several artists in all mediums, including painting, photography, pottery, sculpture, mixed media, and jewelry. Most of the featured artwork will be available for purchase. Each artist is featured on the Garage Galleries website, tinyurl.com/ garagegalleries, with a photo of their work, description, and links to their websites or social media. “We have a great slate of artists for this year’s event, including many new artists,” states Beribak. “This free, family-friendly event is open to everyone and is a great way to see terrific art in a casual and welcoming setting,” stated Cross. “Our host garages are incredibly welcoming to the artists, and it’s a wonderful way to explore the neighborhoods of Forest Park,” adds DiFebo. Attendees are encouraged to visit as many garages as possible, by car, bicycle or on foot. Check out the map of locations and their artists in this section.
