Art is all around us in Corning, they build giant faces (the critic) and buffalo (Artemus) into buildings. There are glass galleries and workshops, art galleries and music stores. You can blow your own glass or pain your own pottery (or have your dog do it for you).

But once a year (and it is coming soon) Market street gets turned over to the Festival of Art. This year it will be the 26th and 27th of July from 10-5. Street performers, musicians, photographers, painters, glass artists and more.

All the restaurants will be open so even the culinary arts will be represented. The art of the Brewer will be available to try at the Market Street Brewing Company (a modest fee will get you a 5oz sample of each of their micro-brews).

There is something for everyone from 4 to 104 (those outside that range there is ice cream at the Olde World Cafe, Donnas and Market Street Coffee and Tea)

Virgil Cain, Rockwell and Margaritas

Virgil Cain, Rockwell and Margaritas 4, originally uploaded by pawtrait04.

Just off Market Street (barely) is the Rockwell Museum of Western Art. Three times a year in the summer they hold Music, Margaritas and Sunsets on the Terrace events.

Seen here playing at the June event was local musician Virgil Cain. The weather was warm and hazy, the music was vibrant and eclectic, and those Margaritas - well they were perfect.

So come and join us on July 16th as the Tumbleweeds perform on the terrace, 3 floors above the street. Look ouit out at the beautful hills that surround Corning, while chilling out to cool music and sipping some of the best Margaritas for miles around,
