Barley Vine Featuring Local Art Squad Artists

Local business Barley Vine contacted Ginger about a partnership between the Art Squad and the restaurant. The idea was inspired by Bare Bones, which years ago gave Ginger the opportunity to put her own artwork on display. She was so excited to be a part of Bare Bones and Barley Vine before that she was eager to help coordinate Barley Vine's featured arts of the month for the year of 2016!

The first featured artists was art squad member Nigel Wynter. Nigel has been involved with the art squad since Operation: Storefront Art and since then has continue to be an active member and artist in the squad. Barley Vine hosted a Meet and Greet event for locals to come out and enjoy a bite to eat while admiring his artwork.

The evening was extremely successful. Not only did Nigel's work brighten up Barley Vine but he brought friends to Barley Vine that may not have visited before, therefore helping Barley Vine's business. Nigel had multiple pieces purchased including the first night his work went up!

Every month will feature a local artist thanks to Ginger Grant and Barley Vine. Stay tuned for future artists and stop by every month to check out the new artwork!

Here are some photographs from Nigel's Meet and Greet:

ART SQUAD

Mission Statement:

 

The “All  Heart” culture of Bristol is inspiring the formation of community  action groups (heart squads) to share a piece of their heart & passion, of  which the Art Squad is one! 

 

We are a group of talented community artists who, like stealthy cultural ninjas, have joined forces to pepper the City with arts & culture and set the agenda on public arts projects.

 

 With  the  City  firmly  behind  a  marketing  strategy  that  values  arts  and  culture,  we  now  have  the  opportunity  to  create   visible  arts  projects  that  highlight  the  inherent  awesomeness  of  art,  but  also  stimulates  economic  development, elevating our beloved City of All Heart,

Bristol, Connecticut!
