The Kilted Mermaid is a fun casual spot that features fondue and small plate dishes paired with great beverage choices. Choose from an array of craft beers bottled and on draft, a varied selection wines (served in decent glasses) and even delicious French press coffee. Yes all the stuff we love! So what can we say, The Kilted Mermaid has it going on. It is hard to put “The Mermaid� in a particular genre as it could be considered a cool bar with light fare or a small fondue cafe with lounge hours but one thing is certain, it offers a cool vibe that is hard to resist. Currently the entertainment includes: Rock, Paper, Scissors tournaments on Tuesday nights, Open Mike night on Wednesdays, Trivia on Thursday, and live music on Friday and Saturdays.

In August of 2009 Indian River County had 4200 homes for sale, in August of 2010 we had 3700 homes for sale and in August of 2011 we had only 2500 homes for sale. This is a 30% decrease from the previous year and a 40% decline since 2009.
In the Tradition of Wyeth: Contemporary Watercolor Masters October 1, 2011 - January 15, 2012 Supporting Sponsor: Mr. and Mrs. Robert P. Henderson Patron Sponsors: Laura and Bill Frick, and Marie C. Stiefel Our fall exhibition in the Holmes Gallery will be built around the Museum’s newly acquired painting by Andrew Wyeth, The Wales Farm. While the exhibition also features four other Wyeth paintings, the majority of the watercolors in the show will be the work of living artists including Stephen Scott Young, Ray Ellis, Dean Mitchell, William Matthews, Kathy Caudill, Alan Shuptrine, Hubert Shuptrine, Duncan Simmons, Leslie Frontz, and Thomas Owen. While these masters of watercolor are great technicians, they embrace Andrew Wyeth’s sentiment that “to be interested solely in technique would be a very superficial thing . . . .” Without exception, they express great feeling in their work, while exploring the profound relationships between human beings and the world of the senses through their chosen medium. No artist in the history of American art had more influence on the appreciation of watercolor than Andrew Wyeth. His ability to work with watercolor in a variety of ways, from “drybrush” to layered washes, and his flair for subtly dramatic composition gained new respect for watercolor as a serious medium. Every professional watercolorist working today owes Wyeth a debt, whether they were directly inspired by his masterworks or more generally by his larger-than-life presence in the art world.
