Connie Bloom to be at Akron Artwalk on Saturday

Former Beacon Journal staffer Connie Bloom, whose cutting-edge quilting magazine debuted recently, will be at the monthly Akron Artwalk from 5-10 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 5.

Emails Connie:

The Artwalk "is going to be the best of the year. The galleries have been decorated, libations and snacks will be served and there will be hundreds of pieces of art for sale by Red Light Galleries artists (in the same space as me, in the old bordello).

"Visitors can park their cars and take Lolly the Trolley around the historic art district -- for free -- and go gallery hopping. The holiday shopping will be superb. I hate the phrase it's all good, because it's usually a lie, but in this case, it's really all good."

Connie's gallery is at 111 N. Main Street in Akron, next to Luigi's Restaurant.
