“Garden’s Edge” by Robert Baxter will be on display from June 7 through Sept. 30 in “Summer Showcase,” at Dabbert Gallery, 76 South Palm Ave. Robert Baxter is a local artist who splits his time in New England. His wife, Beatrice Crane-Baker, has a garden with sugar maples that turn a bright red in the fall months. It gets cool underneath the trees' canopy so she sits underneath it to read. She inspired this particular painting one day, and she's an artist also showcased at Dabbert Gallery.

Roy Roig, head mixologist at Jack Dusty, in the Ritz-Carlton, Sarasota, 1111 RitzCarlton Drive, is excited to have some new items to add to the drink menu for summer.

Call 309-2266.

AMI Outfitters, 505 Pine Ave., boasts that it is the only store on Anna Maria Island for men.

Batik is the ancient Indonesian art of waxing, dying, boiling and sun-drying natural fabrics. The dying process also means that no two pieces are exactly alike.
