It looks like August 2nd, 2012 will find Rocky Neck deep in the throes of another gorgeous summer evening and a Nights On The Neck celebration. It seems like a perfect mid-point in what’s been a great summer. Aquatro Gallery is doing their part by welcoming visitors as the gallery stays open late during Nights On The Neck. On display will be lots of new little paintings by Adriana Mederos, new works on silk by Guatopo Design, and new pieces of jewelry by Grace Edwards. The gallery looks great – stop by and see!

Of course, a couple of new items this summer at Aquatro Gallery have been the ladies compacts (hand painted and hand-stamped by Gigi Mederos), hand-painted men’s silk ties & new accessories for ladies. All these new items, plus pieces from Gigi’s latest series and some of the most adorable hand-painted and hand-stamped creatures you’ve ever seen. We invite you to stop by and say hello in between fabulous music acts and other performers across Rocky Neck. For more on Nights On The Neck August 2012, use this link. Hope to see you there!

PS Don’t miss Bird Mancini - along with their very good personal work, they really own their own renditions of some classic rock songs. You’ll never listen to Led Zeppelin the same again!
