Brook Green Art Affair 5 '09

Under the Arcade
Brookgreen Gardens held its annual Art Under the Arcade Festival today.
Once a year Brookreen  invites more  40 artists to gather to discuss, display, and sell their work during the Artists Under the Arcade Festival. Original paintings, hand-made jewelry, sweet-grass baskets, sculpture, photography, wooden bowls, and pottery were all on exhibit and available for sale.

Exhibitors set up on tables  in the breezeway  between the visitor center and the gift shop, and and in tents on the  grass assembly area beyond the breezeway.  

A wide range of media were  represented, including:  painters, sculptors, glass artists, writers photographers, basket makers, metal artists, and potters.
