May 5th the theme of Downtown New London Association‘s Eat In The Street event is Cinco de Mayo, also known as the Anniversary of the Battle of Puebla, a holiday celebrated in parts of Mexico and the US in honor of a military victory in 1862 over the French forces of Napoleon III. In the US, Cinco de Mayo has evolved into a commemoration of Mexican culture and heritage.

Studio 33 Art & Frame Gallery will open the Bienvenidos Exhibit that evening, Wed., May 5th, 5:00 to 10:00 PM. Bienvenidos means “Welcome” – we welcome all to join us in gathering again safely! The exhibit features a colorful collection of abstracts by New London artist Matty P., New London County scenes by Robert J. Hauschild, and the local shoreline art of Gigi Mezzo Genovese.

Sara Munro will serve her legendary Mojito Punch! The gallery will feature, for that one night only, a 15% off sale on anything red! Yes, that does include original art! Be sure to come downtown that evening and try Sara’s refreshing concoction and find the perfect red custom framing for your artwork or family keepsake, or the perfect red artisanal gift, or the perfect piece of red jewelry! So much to choose from! Join us for a great evening of celebration in the streets of Downtown New London!
