On the first Friday of the month, several times a year, art galleries and other shops around downtown Bernardsville throw open their doors and invite in the public to enjoy arts, crafts and other accessories — and also refreshments, frequently wine, and lots of conversations.

This past Friday was one of those times, with art lovers filling participating galleries and shops between around 6 to 9 p.m.

This particular Art Walk also was the grand re-opening of the WallFlowers Gallery, which had moved to a new and larger space at 35 Mill Street.

With the weather still nice and the Art Walks a regular addition to the downtown scene for a few years now, a steady crowd filled such participating locales as Studio 7 Fine Art Gallery at 5 Morristown Road, just north of Olcott Square.
