Roman Street to Perform in Orange Beach

Wednesday, December 15th, 2010

The very popular guitar/percussion ensemble Roman Street is set to entertain Friday, December 17, 7:30 p.m., at BeachCITE Studios in Orange Beach.

Roman Street BeachCITE Studios Orange Beach Gulf Shores Alabama

Relax and rejuvenate with Roman Street at BeachCITE Studios on Friday, December 17, 2010.

Known for their highly professional abilities, this Mobile-based group of internationally trained young men has talent and skills beyond their years. And there is no doubt that they thoroughly enjoy what they do, as evident by their easy interactions with each other while playing and with the audience between songs.

The Listening Room at BeachCITE Studios, located in SanRoc Cay, has a very limited capacity, so don’t hesitate before making your reservations (251-981-1989) for an evening of mostly original fusion/jazz/classical/rumba/flamenco-styled arrangements. Donations, taken at the door, benefit the studio in its quest to bring visual and performing arts—via concerts, exhibits and classes—to area residents and visitors of all ages.

Stay informed of local activities, vacation rental specials and more by subscribing to this Discover Alabama Beaches blog and Meyer Muse, and by following Meyer Real Estate on Twitter, Facebook and MySpace.

Birthday Bash at The Hot Shop

Tuesday, August 17th, 2010

You may not remember the day you were born or your first birthday, but the folks at Orange Beach Arts Center and The Hot Shop are full of first-year memories and excitement for the future of Alabama’s only public-access glass studio.

You're invited to a birthday bash for The Hot Shop at the Orange Beach Arts Center on Friday, August 20, 2010.

And what a fun evening they have planned to mark the occasion!

From 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. on Friday, August 20, you’ll be treated to a Hot Glass Cold Drinks celebration. Food and drinks are just the beginning, accompanied by the uplifting, sophisticated guitar sounds of Roman Street.

Wander through the Arts Center and around the grounds, and you’ll find all kinds of artistic activities in progress. Glass-blowing demonstrations will be offered by Mark Lupeta, Steve and Dee Burrow will show their process of pottery making, and Opal Young will invite you to watch as she creates a painting.

A public mosaic project will be led by Connie Blum, so don’t pass up your opportunity to add your personal touch. “Bob” the Art Car will be making a special appearance. And you know you can’t pass up a chance at a raffle, especially when it will benefit the Arts Center.

This Birthday Bash is also the opening of the 2010 Members Show. Check out new works by your favorite artists while you discover some new favorites to admire.

Learn more by contacting the Arts Center at 251-981-2787—or simply show up and talk to the Arts Center folks at 26389 Canal Rd. in Orange Beach, east of the Hwy. 161 intersection.
