Celebration Studios

If you're familiar with Rehoboth, then you know that Epworth Church moved from Baltimore Avenue to Holland Glade Road. The Theatre of the Arts and Celebration Studios have now found a home in the old church. Besides great, professional shows at the theatre - (they bring us "big city" talent) you can also see local artists working in their studios. Currently there are about ten of us in the studios. There are oil painters, custom-painted furniture artists, a textile artist, 2 computer-aided artists, and an illustrator. I understand we will soon have a sculptor in our midst as well. If you have ever visited The Torpedo Factory in Alexandria VA, you'll get the idea of what we're doing. This is a great way to meet local artists, watch them work and purchase art all in one place. The energy is great and it's a unique experience in lil' Sussex County. This is a new venture so most of us haven't established a set schedule, but you can usually catch a few of us there most days and some weekend evenings. As summer gets closer, we'll be there more often and will most likely post schedules on our studio doors. Come check it out and help support our local arts.

As I was leaving the studio today, I noticed police officers stopping cars in the middle of Baltimore Avenue. Further up the avenue, there were drug-sniffing dogs checking out cars that made it past the first stop. Apparently VP Biden was at the Atlantic Sands. Kind of cool, but I don't remember him having this much hoopla before....guess it must be that Vice President thing. :)

I think nearly everyone I know is really getting despondent over the economy, the war and the cold weather. A terrible trio. We know spring is coming, but as far as the other two go, who knows. Let's just send some positive thinking out into the universe and hope that things get better SOON!
