Downtown Paris ARTWALK was Picture Perfect
Friday, April 24 could not have been a more perfect evening for the 5th Downtown Paris ARTWALK. Artists and art lovers came together for a night of food, drinks, and art.
25 venues hosted over 50 artists. Plus, many other businesses were open on Main Street Friday evening providing an opportunity to showcase all that Downtown Paris has to offer.
Organizers estimate 500-600 people visited Downtown for ARTWALK. "There were tons of locals and people from Lexington, plus folks from Cincinnati, Louisville, and several groups from out of state," says Steve Walton, one of the organizers.
Walton attributes The Rolex Three Day Event to the influx of people from outside the region.
"This was the 5th Downtown Paris ARTWALK," says Miranda Reynolds, another organizer. "People know Paris is about horses, history, and hospitably. ARTWALK shows them we are also about bringing our community together and showcasing our fantastic city. When you mention Paris, people know there are great things happening here."
The art and artists were as varied as the venues. Art included: painting, pottery, sculpture, stained glass, photography, and jewelry. Established and professional artists, beginners, and students all showed their talent at ARTWALK. Venues were equally as diverse: spanning from Riley's Tire Store to Hardy Dungan's home. Antique stores, restaurants, offices, retails shops, hair salons, and Fister Sister's Bakery. Three "just off Main Street" locations also participated: The Paris-Bourbon County Library, Hopewell Museum, and First Presbyterian Church. .
Venues for Downtown Paris ARTWALK offered snacks, treats, appetizers, and beverages of all sorts.
Four bands brought music to Main Street, insuring that ARTWALK was not only a treat to the eyes and taste buds, but also to the ears. Bands played at Frames on Main and in the parking lot across from Kentucky Bank. Stonefence Bistro had music for post-ARTWALK fun, and After the Rain entertained at Migdalia's "ARTWALK After Party".
Downtown Paris ARTWALK is sponsored by The Main Street Program.
The next Downtown Paris ARTWALK will be held Friday, July 17.

"When the Main Street Organization started putting on ARTWALKs we didn't realize the cultural ramifications the event would have. People came downtown that hadn't visited in years. Folks from neighboring communities drove to Paris to see us and our artists. Locals found themselves visiting with old friends they hadn't seen in years. Just like art opens minds, ARTWALK opened doors to re-connect with friends and build new relationships.", says Steve Walton.

HOPEWELL MUSEUM On ARTWALK
Friday, July 11, 2008 5-8 pm
Friday, July 11, 2008 5-8 pm
Stroll a block off Main Street to the corner of 8th and Pleasant St. for the opening of Hopewell Museum’s summer exhibit . Entitled Hope Well: A Local Museum Collects, this exhibit tells stories found in the artifacts from the Museum’s permanent collection, plus some special items from the Kentucky Historical Society and North Middletown First Christian Church. Hopewell Museum has taken the Victoriana of a by-gone age, added the decorative arts of local crafters, inserted the hard driving politics of Bourbon County and included the beauty of Kentucky art. Curator Estill C.Pennington will be on hand for gallery talks throughout the evening.
Refreshments will be available and admission is free.
