Spreading the art love around for Gallery Walk
One concept that never took off with the Gallery Walk the having many other businesses in the Grove offer art showings on the first Saturday of each month, not just the galleries and Art Stroll at Mayfair.
In Hollywood, FL, where they really don't even have many galleries, they have a very successful gallery night called the Art Walk, which is every third Saturday night. Businesses sponsor artists and those artists have their art shown in the businesses that sponsor them. During the Art Walk they all have receptions and offer wine and snacks and it's a nice little art love-in.
This could be done in the Grove. Sponsorships are not needed. Focaccia for instance always has local art hanging. Other businesses can do the same and simply open their doors and promote the Gallery Walk and offer refreshments on the first Saturday of each month.
The last Gallery Walk was very successful, eight or nine galleries were open for people to enjoy, so maybe another business or two is not needed, but it would expand the concept to have a couple more businesses involved so there is not such a large stretch between galleries.
