APPRAISAL ADVICE FUNDRAISER!

(This was such a big hit at our This Old Warehouse festival that we’re doing it again)

Wonder whether that old knick-knack is worth anything? Do you love watching Antiques Roadshow? Bring in something you’re curious about! The Forklift’s own Chris Melendez will offer advice about your antiques, including architectural salvage, ceramics, furniture, sterling silver, and vintage jewelry. Donations to Community Forklift are greatly appreciated. In addition to financial donations, we will also be collecting donations of vintage & folk jewelry, and sterling silver hollow ware & flatware at this booth.

DIANE DALY JAZZ TRIO

LOCAL ARTISTS!

Delia Mychajluk‘s art is an expression of thoughts and feelings about what she considers the “essentials” of things, i.e., life/death, growth, and the boundaries between the physical/spiritual worlds. Current favorite mediums include oil paint, photography and digital collage, wood and stone carving, plaster and cement over hardware cloth, & watercolor pencils on canvas.”

Delia Mychajluk

Joe Rogers is back again this year with his cryptic style paintings that often depicting iconic Madonnas, beast-like creatures, and, sometimes, darkly (and often female) religious images. However, the viewer should not miss Roger’s unique sense of humor that peeks through it all.

Patti Doyen is displaying photographic artwork that is reproduction-based, often including evidence of her own hand. Prints can take the form of transfers onto handmade paper or canvas, photos with encaustic, monoprints, cyanotypes and lumen prints, in addition to traditional photographic prints.

Stop by Michelle Elizabeth‘s table and get inspired! She uses her paintings as an opportunity to explore inner worlds and higher planes of consciousness.

YUMMY FOOD!

The County Manners food truck will be serving up Southern Maryland inspired fare prepared with some of the freshest, responsibly-sourced ingredients from the region. Chef Damian and Chef Jeremy are excited to share their style of hospitality with everyone through their love of food.

Don’t miss our new sweet treats partner, Pink Confetti, with their amazing array of cupcakes, cookies, dairy-free treats, and desserts that are made from scratch by the owner and chef, who passionately turns your creative vision into a velvety-sweet reality.
