Tonight is the final Midnight Madness in downtown Annapolis. Well, they call it 11th Hour since it’s the last minute AND shops are only open until 11pm, not midnight. But it’s still a great chance to shop lots of local shops for great gifts.
Quiet Waters Park - Now through January 3rd - Check out their Form and Fabric Art Show, Gifts of the Season - With lots of great local art for sale. Check out Annette Uroskie’s digital photography and watercolors, Ardythe Jolliff’s notecards, Chesapeake Weavers’ weavings, dyed scarves and clothing, Chesapeake Woodturners woodturnings, Donna Schramek’s soft sculpture, ceramics by Garage Art, Joan Mchinchick’s watercolors, calendars and calligraphy and Liz Sork’s painted glassware, pen and ink drawings as well as alcohol ink paintings.
