This is Super Bowl Sunday. Super Bowls are counted in Roman Numerals, and so are Hygienic Art Shows. For those of you not from the New London area, the Hygienic Art Show is a yearly event held in what was once a restaurant, and is now an art gallery. The rules are simple: One Piece Per Artist, No Judge, No Jury, No Fees, No Censorship. This year the show has spilled over into what was once a furniture store on Golden Street. We avoided yesterday’s mob scene opening and went today.
For those of you unfamiliar with the Hygienic, here’s a smattering of the offerings. The welcoming side outside. We brought the face with us:
The Cafe below is a downtown New London fixture. The two characters in front aren’t quite New London fixtures, but they would fit right in.
A few pictures featuring our four legged friends:
The Golden Street exhibition hall:
And, finally, an Obama loving giraffe:
The exhibition runs through the 14th, and is on 79 Bank Street in New London, a stone’s throw from our Drinking Liberally meeting place, the Bulkeley House. There’s a great ice cream place across the street, for those inclined (like me) to more juvenile gastronomic treats. Unfortunately, the web site doesn’t give the hours for the exhibition, so it’s not at all clear that one could combine a visit to the Exhibition with a stop at our next Drinking Liberally, which will be this Thursday.
