Newton's Tour of Art Tomorrow

I know it's late notice, but if you are looking for something to do in the NJ area, Newton is hosting it's 4th Biannual Tour of Art. Throughout the week, starting tomorrow on 2nd Saturday, artists will be setting up their works throughout the Town of Newton in the fabulous boutiques, galleries, and eateries on Spring Street. Weather permitting, live music will be performed by Carl Ferriere outside in front of the Newton Fire Museum.

TraillWorks is participating with guest artist, photographer, Lori Calderone, of Sparta, NJ. Several of Lori's photos of European travel destinations will be on exhibit through Saturday, May 15th. An evening reception from 5 - 8pm is planned where you can follow a map, tour the art and meet the artists.

Breadside Tables are Here!

Guest artist, Steve Butler's "Breadside Tables" are now at TraillWorks. Though not yet organized for the official exhibit, they are on view. "Breadside Tables" are Steve's unique reuse of kitchen kitsch. A collector of bread boxes, Steve combines them with feet from vintage ottomans of the same era to create a really neat piece of retro furniture. These would make excellent bedside tables or side tables with the right mid century modern furniture.

The exhibit starts Monday and runs through September 29th. An opening reception is scheduled for Saturday, September 12th, from 5 - 8pm, coinciding with Newton's Tour of Art on 2nd Saturday.
