. This was recorded during last year's walk. Entrance to the art venues is free. You can walk around downtown drinking in the ambience and pop into the various galleries to view some eclectic works of art.The First Friday Weekend Art Walk includes complimentary shuttle service to most of the venues, so the walking part is optional. An evening stroll in this historic city is very pleasurable but you may want to use the shuttle to get back to the free parking at the end of your jaunt.
I would spend a lot of time at the first stop on this walk. Rembrandtz has some excellent hand blown glass items on display. The artwork of Trip Harrison is very enticing as well. His pieces really capture the essence of rural Florida. He uses very natural and subdued colors. Ray Brilli takes the same subject matter and treats it in an entirely different way. He uses surreal and vibrant colors that tell a simple story in a very loud and strong voice. He comes from New York and I suspect that besides falling in love with the city of St. Augustine, he has also fallen in love with the light that brings Florida to his eyes.
