For the 8th year, residents throughout the neighborhoods of Forest Park will host local area artists in their garages to display their work in a casual, family-friendly, “art reception” atmosphere.
The book concludes with a picture of a pile of rocks with the word `UNLESS’. Then these words from Once-ler: “Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It’s not.”

It is a great children’s book and enjoyable movie to share with her, but the deeper meaning always weighs heavy. Written in 1971, the plot of The Lorax holds true today: It raises the ethical issues regarding the impact of our actions, moral implications of success, and how a person recognizes their mistakes. We should always be conscious of our environment, and the implications of our actions. While removing trees that are heavily diseased or have been invaded by a foreign pest protects other species, we should carefully consider how our decisions will impact our environment.
Maybe we should all try to be a little bit more like The Lorax.
Ar t out back at Garage Galleries 60 artists, 28 garages and a hot dog stand
Lin Beribak, a watercolorist and one of the coordinators of the event, said that patrons intending to buy art should bring multiple means of paying for what they purchase, because some artists accept cash or MEMO Bill Payments but not credit cards. She herself accepts cash and Zelle.And, speaking of free, Smokey Joel will be serving up hot dogs at 505 Thomas at no charge. All he will be asking is a donation to cover his costs with the rest going to the Arts
TheAlliance.organizers suggest that the best way to do the Garage Galleries is by bicycle. Because the garages all open up onto alleys, the venues are safe for pedestrians but also hidden for those driving cars. Yard signs will be planted in the front yards of all garage hosts.
Andrea DiFebo who coordinates the garage hosts, added, “We are not going for the high-priced Gold Coast art although we will have some artists of that caliber in our event. Part of the is to enable our neighbors in town to have quality art that is affordable in their homes.”Inyears past, said DiFebo, the least expensive item sold for a dollar and the asking price for one piece was $12,000. Garage Galleries is a free event in the sense that there is no registration fee for the artists to display their work and no admission cost for the patrons as they roam from alley to alley throughout the village.Wagner said that art galleries take up to 50% of the sale of a painting, but the Garage Galleries every penny goes to the artists themselves. It ’s a win/win situation, because it keeps the price affordable for patrons and the artists get to keep everything they get.
