After decades of community art exhibitions and activities, Barbara and Mike Walsh are retiring and permanently closing their amazing galllery space and location in Peters Rest. Please come tonight in appreciation, and enjoy this large exhibition titled “Hope For the Future,” of over 30 works by Luca, Christina and Marina Gasperi, 4-8pm for a closing celebration. Plus photos and more!

We’ll even have salad greens and herbs for sale plus the feast for your eyes! And we’ll be there, making even MORE ART!

If you missed our opening exhibition, or would like to visit Walsh Studio Gallery one more time before Barbara and Mike close their doors for good on Saturday, come see us Saturday 4-8pm in Peters Rest behind the Coca-Cola plant! Yes we know it’s boat parade! Swing by early!! Lots of sweet salad mix! Plus, fresh herbs: Italian basil and lemongrass.

Artist and writer Elisa McKay came out for our packed exhibition opening last Saturday December 1st and wrote a beautiful article about her experience and Mike and Barb Walsh’s future plans, read it here with more photos of some of the works: Hope For the Future Exhibit at Studio Walsh Closing Saturday

ARTfarm Quick Popup Wednesday 9/6/2023, 5-5:30pm! Brought to you by the letter ‘L’! We’ve got Longan! Local Ground Lamb! Lemongrass! and Luscious Mangoes!

Longan fruits, shown whole and broken open to expose the flesh
Longan fruits, shown whole alongside two of the seeds.

Longan fruit is a southeast asian treat, and our trees are producing a bumper crop at the moment. The so-called dragon-eye fruit is similar to a kenip but sweeter, crunchier, and comes right off the shiny pit. They are a serious addiction! AND… we have Local ground Lamb from a neighbor’s farm, pastured raised and deLicious. We’ve also got some Luscious mango varieties from Dennis Nash, fresh harvested Lemongrass (aka fevergrass – a cooling tea to keep iced in your hydration toolbox), and some pineapple sLips for planting. Early bird specials include September plums and pastured eggs from Mongoose&Zinna. We will be open for a POP-UP (no reservations, first-come first-serve) farmstand in the afternoon, Wednesday, September 6, 2023, 5 – 5:30pm.

See you Wednesday!
