On June 19 the first annual Bluffton Art Walk brightened a rather damp Thursday afternoon. Thanks to the presence of downtown Bluffton awnings and ten participating shops, the event proved to be an excellent way to get out of the house and out of the rain.

Views in the Icon gallery include Sabina Clingerman at Ten Thousand Villages, Ron Headings at roots by Strattons, balloon artists at Shirley’s Gourmet Popcorn Company, quilters at the Bluffton Senior Center, Andrew Steingass Pottery at Greenhorn, Treadway Acres Flower Bar at the Dough Hook, and potter Bruce Chesser and photographer Jamie Nygaard at 1861 Wine Lounge.
