Just a few pictures from the Art Show on Groton Bank, held yesterday. It seemed to me, and Audrey Heard, the event’s founder confirmed, that this was the biggest show ever, in terms of exhibitors. We arrived early, and attendance seemed to be good, but it was so hot yesterday that one has to wonder whether people showed up in the afternoon.
I probably should have made a point of getting the names of all the artists, but I’m a blogger, not a journalist, so I didn’t. The artist who painted the pictures below asked that I put her web address online (somehow she guessed the picture might end up on the web), which I was happy to do. According to her website her name is T. Miller, and her website is here.
This artist, whose name is Timothee (that’s all that’s on his card- no name, no address, no phone number, I guess he’s not interested in selling his stuff) was there last year as well. Last year Neal Young was featured, this year the late lamented Frank Zappa.
As I mentioned last week, the show was on the site of one of the only Revolutionary War battlefields, Fort Griswold, where Norwich’s least favorite son, Benedict Arnold, joined in a massacre of the fort’s defenders, before or after burning New London. The people of Groton erected a monument in 1826 (depicted below),
which is currently being renovated by our impoverished state, as can be seen here.
It’s supposed to re-open, better than ever, next Memorial Day.
