Hello, Crisfield fans and friends,

Are you ready for more really ‘good news’ happening in or near Crisfield? Here goes:

NEW CORBIN STUDIO AND GALLERY TO OPEN BY THE END OF THIS MONTH:

In last month’s newsletter, I featured the new Somerset County Arts Council Gallery downtown which just had its Grand Opening. Now Crisfield is getting a second art gallery, with one opening uptown in the former Corbin Library. According to Jennifer Merritt, the Corbin Studio and Gallery, located at 4 East Main Street in Crisfield, is projected to open sometime this month.   They are seeking artists and volunteers to staff the Gallery and join the Co-op; and sculptors, photographers, painters, writers, and musicians are encouraged to get involved. If you are interested, please register at crisfieldarts.org/corbin-gallery. They anticipate being open on Saturdays and Sundays, and on 2nd and 4th Wednesdays around the City Council meetings, as well as for special events. Things are looking up… artistically speaking!  😊
