For those old enough to be admitted into the 21+ venues, and for those who brought I.D. (absolutely no one was allowed in with no I.D., be it your 10-year-old cousin or your 75-year-old grandfather), the Flynndog Gallery offered a range of artwork from "Death and Taxes: A visual guide for where Federal Tax Dollars Go" by Jess Bachman who used "sweet, sweet data" as his medium to Christina Pellechio's earth/stoneware pieces-some retro and some almost radioactive, to Kat Clear's "Corset Couture" series with which she used a "masculine medium [perforated steel and rod] to identify a feminine subject."
Project Runway had some competition at the Specialty Filaments gallery with "Strut," the South End Art Hop's very own fashion show. Eight Burlington-based designers showed off their integration of recycled materials used in everyday fashion for men and women (and their little dogs, too!).
Garments seen on the runway were created by Jennifer Dillner, Claudia Venon, Xmas Maxon-Alley, Alicia Marchildon and Laura Cheney, Chris Bissonette, Allison Bannister, Joanne Kalisz and Ava Bishop and can be found at select shops around Burlington.
Saturday offered demonstrations for the kids including steel-work, mosaic, and paper-making workshops. There was an ongoing Silent Art Auction, the proceeds benefiting South End Arts and Business Association as well as the Art Hop itself.
Whether you were a first-time art hopper this year or a returning fan, it was impossible for the high spirits and eclectic style of the artists and their crowds to go unnoticed.
