Big night of art, food, drinks planned for tonight's Art Stroll

The Promenade at Mayfair is the place to be tonight for the Grove's First Saturday Art Stroll. It's bigger and better with more food, more drinks, more art and more music.

Los Ranchos will be offering samples of their famous steak skewers and free sample drinks will be handed out by four liquor companies.

There is plenty of parking right on site at the Oak Street garage, a part of Mayfair.

Over at the Mutiny Hotel (2951 S. Bayshore Drive), the Ed King pop art exhibit will be taking over the pool area and one of the conference rooms will become an art gallery. Juan Gonzalez, the Mutiny's director of sales and marketing, showed us the space last night and it is a great area to show art. There will be little nibblie things and cocktails, too.

You can easily go back and forth to the Mutiny from Mayfair's Promenade across the street. Just enter the parking lot and keep going and you're there.

Over at the Windisch-Hunt Gallery (2911 Grand Avenue), the Mail Art is having one of it's last showings before it heads off to North Carolina toward the middle of the month. And Fred Hunt finally completed his large three-in-one piece, that he has been working on for months (right). You may have seen him in the window working non-stop on this great project.

CocoWalk's galleries have special events and showings as does the Kinetic Gallery, where another King -- popular Grove artist Leonard Krakovitch King -- will be showing his one of a kind art. And the galleries along Commodore Plaza will also be offering their new exhibits like the Dharma Studio's "Three Sides of Seidman" exhibit going on now.

And of course, don't forget the Grove's own Britto gallery at 2994 McFarlane Road.
