“It’s going to be a really nostalgic look at Vermilion’s history, and history of a vacation location as well,” Suszko said. “They’re going to be installed all over Ver- milion, not just downtown.”
The group is also preparing for the “All Washed Up” art contest.
Last year, more than 800 people came to the event that featured art made from driftwood. This year, the contest is online. The gallery will be on the group’s website through August 5 for voting. Visit main- streetvermilion.org/all-washed-up to take a look at last year’s entries. They include other “washed up” items like beach glass, and are in the form of furniture, sculpture, mosaics, carving, and more.
This year’s winning entries will be on display from mid-August to mid-Septem- ber.
Suszko said the Vermilion Arts Guild will have a “Sea and Shore” exhibit on July 18.
Lakeside Chautauqua is also holding an online art show. The deadline for sub- missions is July 25. The Lakeside Plein Air Art Festival is scheduled for July 17 through 19, when the art will be available in the “Wet Paint Sale.”
Port Clinton ARTWalks
In Port Clinton, the ARTWalks spon- sored by the Greater Port Clinton Area Arts Council will begin again on July 23. This year, the artists will be lo- cated further apart to accommodate social distancing and the Meals On Madison outdoor dining area.
Downtown Port Clinton will also be home to new First Friday events, in which downtown businesses are invited to stay open on the first Fri- day night of each month to add to the new atmosphere provided by the Meals On Madison area.
If you haven’t taken advantage of the “MOM,” as it is called, you might want to give it a try. The north-
ernmost half of the 100 block of Madison Street is closed to traffic, and visitors can use the picnic tables and umbrellas. The newest addition has been a stage, which means outdoor music! For the most part, performers take the stage Wednesdays through Sundays.
I was recently there on a couple of Sun- day afternoons, and truly enjoyed the music of Sea Jamz 7. On Wednesday nights Slat- er’s Madison Street Pub has taken the popu- lar Jazz Night outdoors, and the RiverFront Live! concerts are back on Friday evenings. You might want to check the Main Street Port Clinton website for upcoming informa- tion.
