 SAVOR NEW HOPE
By Robin Larsen
This July 14, 15, and
16 New Hope Arts Inc. continues the six year tradition
of Savor New Hope – Showcase
the Arts, a weekend celebration of the arts and artists
of the region. In the past years, over the three day
weekend, this event has drawn thousands of visitors
and residents who embrace the town-wide happening as
a way to recognize New Hope and surrounding areas as
a “Little Paris on the Delaware”.
The weekend showcases all the arts and offers an
exciting way to celebrate the important role the
arts and artists play in our community. Artists and
gallery or businesses owners can host an exhibition,
sponsor a book signing, concert, lecture, or demonstration;
inns and area shops can offer special discounts;
and area chefs can join other chefs and fine restaurants
in preparing the annual Savor New Hope party celebration
on Sunday, July 15, 2007. Any exhibition space that
stays open until 8PM and serves refreshments Saturday,
July 14 will also be listed in the Gallery Stroll
section of the Savor New Hope schedule. This year’s
event will also boast a “mini farmer’s
market” and cooking classes by outstanding
chefs.
This year Savor New Hope – Showcase
the Arts coincides with Second Saturday so there
will be plenty
of activities all weekend long to satisfy the entire
family.
New Hope Arts will sponsor
a number of activities that are free and open to
the public, including outdoor
music, exhibitions at Triumph Brewing Company and the
New Hope Arts Center, gallery talks, walking tours
to the outdoor sculpture show, outdoor children’s
activities, and more. Go to www.NewHopeArtsInc.org
for more information.
