In the Window at A.P.E.

What's ONLINE this week

As A.P.E. moves into summer, we of course wish we could open our doors and invite you all in to a full season of summer programming. Instead and until it's safe to re-open fully, we are taking advantage of our very large Main Street windows to bring you artwork throughout the summer. We start with Anchor House artists Michael Tillyer and Anne Bayles Arthur this month through June 5. Beginning June 8, Zoe Sasson, local artist, curates normal pop-up, five artists showing in the window over the course of the summer months. Take a stroll downtown as it begins to re-open and see these engaging artists' work.
More info below.
