Ars Marketis

Reminder: it’s Wallingford Wednesday, that once monthly grand alignment of the Wallingford Farmer’s Market (3 – 7 pm, Wallingford Center parking lot, 4400 Wallingford Avenue N) and Wallingford Art Walk (6 – 9 pm, all over Wallingford). Think of it like an eclipse, except instead of the moon obscuring the sun, it’s just two things happening in Wallingford.

Still, fresh local food and fresh local art, what’s not to love. Grab yourself some veggies, bread and cheese and make a sandwich, then wander the ‘hood seeing what’s to be seen. Here are a few shows that we know about:

• Rita Amer and Nick Licata will be signing copies of their children’s books at Not a Number (1905 N 45th St). We covered Rita and her book Cat with the Golden Fang on these pages just a few weeks back. Nick, we haven’t covered, but come on: he’s Nick Licata and he wrote a children’s book, Princess Bianca and the Vandals: A Post Modern Tale of Two Kingdoms. Vandals? Oh God, we hope this doesn’t set off another to-do about graffiti.
• Bryan Ubaghs (painting at right) is showing at Cutz Meridian (4515 Meridian Ave N)
• The Easy Street Band will be playing jazz swing at Wallingford Center from 6:30 – 7:30 pm
• Jerry Chu will be showing his photos at Caffe Appassionato
• Jill “Cocoa Bandit” Labieniec will be showing drawings at Trophy Cupcakes

And it’s totally not going to rain.
