BELLFLOWER HOLDS CITY’S FIRST ANNUAL ART WALK

By Tammye McDuff

The City of Bellflower held their first of three downtown art walks this past Saturday, October 8th.

 For the first annual event, 15 stores, restaurants and businesses participated in hosting a variety of local artists from beginner at elementary school level all the way up experienced artists from Bellflower Manor, everyone was invited to participate.

Bellflower High School photography class submitted dozens of photos that were simply stunning.

Students constructed a pop-up gallery in downtown Bellflower Boulevard. The Bellflower Manor’s painting skills were strong – and many of the pieces were scattered throughout the city.

As one lifelong resident stated, “I must say that I really enjoyed attending the inaugural Art Walk. I look forward to attending the next one! The chalk drawings are awesome, because all ages can participate. Thanks for your efforts, everyone!”

The art walks are a perfect way for the entire family to spend a Saturday evening.

Each attendee receives a bingo-type card, as guest visit the stores, you receive a sticker to place on the card which is entered into a drawing at the end of the evening.

Bringing energy to downtown Bellflower is the whole idea, while encouraging folks to visit shop while enjoying the art.

The Art Walk also featured local musicians and interactive games were held at the comic book store.

The Bellflower Art Walk will have two more events on November 19th and December 10th.
