This past Saturday, the Zach Gallery held an artist panel for their exhibit - places we inhabit. Elizabeth Casqueiro, Amy Wickersham and Cid Collins Walker kept the audience captivated with their inspirational stories about their art. The Zach Gallery also gave us a taste of what will be coming ...this weekend during our May Day Celebration - May 1 - May 3 featuring eleven art galleries in Easton participating in the Art in Bloom Event. Floral arrangements will be created to complement specific pieces of art at the galleries. The floral arrangements at the Zach Gallery located at 17 S Washington St, are always stunning and we can't wait to see what they create for the May Day Celebration. #DiscoverZachGallery #DiscoverMayDay #DiscoverEaston
