Next Art Walk - Saturday, March 6th, 2010
Nellie Bly happily presents these mouthwatering decadent art glass confections by glass artisans, Patty and Dinah Hulet.
Jerome continues its love affair with ART on February 6th with the First Saturday ART WALK. Just in time for Valentine’s Day, the 26 galleries and studios of Jerome will be brimming over with visual delights. There will be plenty of chocolate, music and good conversation at this vibrant event. Meet the artists that night and mingle with other art lovers who are drawn to this charming mountain town. Make a night of it with dinner at one of the town’s delicious restaurants. Maybe even spend the night at one of the delightful B&B’s or hotels. The party starts at 5:00PM. There is plenty of parking and a shuttle is available to transport visitors to galleries and studios. The Jerome Art Walk is an event that has become a great Northern Arizona tradition on the First Saturday of each month.
Specializing in illusion, Nellie Bly Kaleidoscopes and Art Glass ratchets up the fun for Valentines Day. Illusion is believable with fine handmade glass chocolates. Each realistic looking chocolate, signed and dated by the Hulet sisters, will tempt you with thoughts of tasteful indulgence. Patty and Dinah Hulet have been creating art glass confections since 2005 in their studio on the rural coast of northern California. Working with glass for over 25 years, Dinah Hulet is most well known for her glass portraiture. She created mosaic face canes using the historical methods found in the manufacture of millifiore. Dinah, along with her sister Patty have now turned their creative focus to a more whimsical, yet equally detailed, body of work. From kisses to cupcakes, petit fours to chocolates, each confection is intricately flameworked to entice the discriminating glass and chocolate lover. These beautifully decorated pieces are one of a kind and are presented in your choice of a handmade silk box or an individual gift box including the paper cup.
The Jerome Artists Cooperative Gallery will feature the works of southwest photographer Robert Chadwick in a six week exhibition titled “Interpretive Landscapes: Through the Lens of Photographer Robert Chadwick.” Known locally for his expert tips on hiking both nearby and far-flung areas of northern Arizona and southern Utah, ‘Bob’ promises interesting discussion for photographers, artists, geologists and area visitors. Chadwick and his fellow artists will welcome the public during Art Walk from 5 to 8 pm. on February 6th.
Suzy Mound and Suzann Trout at Jerome Bead Creations will feature warm red pieces, many with hearts and some with hands of friendship! If you don't want to give someone your heart, you can always give them a hand! Plus hot apple cider and ginger cookies to warm your heart and your hands!

Light up the Mountain, December 2009

Once again, it is Christmas in Jerome and that means a night of luminarias, tree lighting, and hayrides. Festivities began at 6:00 p.m. with the merchants of Jerome setting out lovely luminarias and lighting the streets by the flickering of candles. At 7:00 p.m. town residents in the upper park turned on the switch to this beautiful display of holiday cheer. Throughout the evening, there were hayrides. The Jerome Art Walk was also in full swing, with restaurants offering special treats and shops were bustling with holiday shoppers.
