Three sure signs that winter is arriving in Belmar. One is the temperatures start dipping down close to freezing. Another is that it's already dark when our art receptions start. And the third is that the annual WUF show is open for business.
As usual, the annual Wearable Usable Functional show has brought a wide variety of hand made goods to the Boatworks, the creations of over 30 of our members. We're talking about jewelry, ceramics, books, cards, ornaments, home decor, accessories, and fabric products, among other things.
Almost 60 people came to the reception. Some brought their money and have already gotten a head start on their holiday shopping. Others enjoyed checking out the wares in the front room and the fine art (from our Silver and Gold level Art Partners) in the back room, sampling refreshments provided by the artists, and the live music of the BAC Beach Bums.
The gallery will be open special hours for this sale, 1 to 5 pm from Wednesday to Sunday through December 21st. All purchases may be taken home immediately, so expect the artists to replenish the stock on a regular basis.
The reception officially ended at 7:00 pm, but the Boatworks remained open for another activity. The Jersey Shore Writers held a book launch party for "Darkness Falls at the Jersey Shore." A few dozen were in attendance to hear the involved authors read their works.
