Bethel Arts' 'Imagination Art Walk' Opens With Month-Long Photo Contest

The newly-formed Bethel Arts organization kicked off their Imagination Art Walk with an opening reception at Daily Fare on Friday, Oct. 3.

Attendees enjoyed food, conversation and a chance to view the canvases on display by the show’s featured artist, Royal Scott, of Red Brick Studio in Brookfield. The month-long “scavenger hunt-style” contest invites participants to take artistic photos at participating businesses. People can then vote on their favorites online and win a prize at the end of the contest on Oct. 31. Maps are available at participating locations or you can download one by clicking here.

The reception continued Friday at Molten Java with wine, food and music by Griffin Anthony.

The photos will remain on display throughout the month of October in the following locations:

• Molten Java, on Greenwood Ave. in Dolan Plaza, during store hours
• Daily Fare at the Bethel Train Station, during store hours
• An empty storefront near the Bethel Chamber, 178 Greenwood Ave., 10 a.m.-3 p.m., Tues.-Saturday
• A space located behind, and down the hall from, the old Hauser Chocolatier, 137 Greenwood. Ave., 10 a.m.-3 p.m., Tues.-Saturday
