.
Participating Artists (l-r): Johnny Arguedas, Bernal Murillo, Gloria Carrigg, Valentin Iviquel, Elisa Hamilton, Antonio Oliveira, Margarette Mattos, Vera Arias

To the sounds of the Bruins hockey game on the TVs over the bar and Colombian cumbia on the sound system, a whole bunch of folks (we didn't do a head count) packed Casey's to officially launch The Colors of the Americas : East Somerville Art Walk.

Oh, and we had a time! People from all directions came together on a beautiful Spring day to meet the artists and the neighbors, share names and stories, and make the first excursions up and down East Broadway to enjoy the beautiful art and to soak up a little E-So street vibe .

Thanks to all who helped to make our Opening Reception such a heartwarming success. Everyone who joined us got to enjoy the works of a fabulous group of artists. And everyone left with a lot more friends than they came in with.
