In its fith year a Taste for Art of Southern Delaware is an event not to be missed. It is a fun night! This year’s event took place at Indy Hall at Independence, accessible to all Delaware Beaches and beyond.
It was a festive atmosphere with guests mingling as they sampled delicious tapas style presentations, shopping and listening to music.
Thirteen local artists set up shop around the rooms, along with the restaurants. Here are some photos.
Basket Whimsies by Mary Morton – Beautiful fabrics making a variety of items.
Kevin Fleming – A Delaware native and international photographer. http://www.kevinfleming.com.
Magpie Design – One of a kind figues made from papier mache. Peggie Gielis creates them and they were one of my favorites. Visit her shop on http://www.etsy.com/shop/magpiedesignltd.
I found at A Taste for Art one of my favorite toffees….Taylor’s Toffee is made in Selbyville, Delaware, a few miles of Fenwick Island on Rt. 54. This is a family operation and it is so good. Please visit http://www.taylorstoffee.com.
And a Silent Auction for those that wanted the excitement of watching their bids for pretty nice things.
It is almost the end of 2014, but a new year is just around the corner with many activities and events covering the Delmarva Peninsula…..when you see A Taste for Art of Southern Delaware….make sure you pencil it in. It is usually in the Fall. Don’t worry, I will let you know.
