Galleries combine to form Newark art hop

Argyle Photography, Licking County Arts and The Works are coordinating an effort to start a regular gallery hop in downtown Newark. The first gallery walk will be from 6 to 8 p.m. Friday, with artist receptions at the three locations.
“It was all springboarded off the Art Walk,” said Liz Argyle, owner of Argyle Photography, 36 S. Third St. “I feel very fortunate to have fallen into this role (as an organizer). I believe in downtown.”
Argyle said the success of the August Art Walk event, sponsored by Cultural Alliance of Licking County, inspired her to dedicate a portion of her photography studio as a permanent gallery space. Unlike the summer event, which placed artists and their work in a variety of businesses, the art hop will be solely in dedicated gallery spaces.
Argyle said, however, she would like to see other downtown businesses remain open on event evenings to join in the fun.
