once known as a streetcar suburb in the early 1900’s, englewood now thrives as an art and retail district and is literally a city within a city. located within the city limits of inde-pendence, englewood has made a name for itself as a district that has come to life.

recently recognized as an arts district by the city council of inde-pendence, those whose passion lies within englewood, are eager for the rest of the county to take notice.

“We invite everyone to tour engle-wood and see how alive it is with 12 art galleries, 30 local artists and retail stores,” russ lawrence, owner of changing Seasons and russ law-rence Gallery in englewood said, “not only during the art walk when there

are thousands of people here, but every day as well.”

The art Walk from 5:30 to 9 p.m. on the third Friday of each month pro-vides the opportunity for art enthusi-asts — from collectors to novice — to enjoy a variety of art, from modern to folk, oils to acrylics, jewelry and sculp-tures as well as enjoy music from local musicians.

“Those of us participating in the englewood arts district understand all values of art,” he said. “With pieces ranging from $20,000 to $20 and prints beginning at $5. The great thing about englewood is our art walks continue year round, no matter the weather or season.”

The Winner road Gallery, owned by Sherri Haupert is one of the many galleries, which are open for local artists to display their works.

“Winner road Gallery promotes more of a traditional theme,” she said. “all of the galleries in engle-wood offer a multitude of styles which makes it very interesting and unique.”

Workshops are held at many of the galleries for the public to have a hands-on experience with the artists themselves.

“We invite the public to visit www.winnerroadgallery.com to learn more about the workshops which are held at our gallery on Saturdays,” Haupert said.

along with receiving the art dis-trict designation, englewood will also enjoy a facelift in the months to come with Marc funds designated for streetscape improvements such as widening of sidewalks, relocation of parking and improvement of transit bus stops and bicycle facilities as well as corridor beautification.

one of the mainstays of engle-wood, having been located on Win-ner road for nearly a decade, brings

art to the public in the form of pup-petry with a museum and workshops for children to build their own.

Several restaurants in englewood provide the opportunity to experi-ence a variety of food including the

Englewood Arts DistrictThe Independence Square Association is once again bringing fun and exciting events

to the Independence Square with our annual Girls Night Out event. Our past Girls Night

hundreds of women to grab their girlfriends, mothers, sisters, aunts, and neighbors and

head to the Square for an ultimate night of escape and to take advantage of socializing,

spending quality time with friends, great promotional discounts, prizes and raffl es during

the evening.What makes this event different than any others? Girls Night Out will benefi t the

worthy organization, Cancer Action. Cancer Action is a community based non-profi t

agency that offers a comprehensive array of programs and services that address the physi-

cal, social, emotional, fi nancial and spiritual needs of persons with cancer, including their

family and friends.Here’s how it will work: Women who want to come to Girls Night Out can pre-pur-

chase a ticket online for a goodie bag (supplies limited). A portion of the bag sales will

benefi t Cancer Action. Pre-purchase goodie bag tickets online at http://girlsnightouton-

thesquare.eventbrite.com. The tickets will go on sale between September 12th thru Octo-

ber 5th for $15. On October 6th, the night of the event, the bag will be $20 at the pick up

location (supplies limited). You will bring your ticket to the location that we be set up next

to Square Pizza on West Maple Street the night of the event to pick up your bag. Pre-pur-

chased bags will be available for pickup on October 6th at 4pm. The pick up location is

will receive a $10 gift certifi cate to participating businesses. At the pick up location there

will be several raffl e prizes for the ladies to enter to win. Each participant will receive

dence Square a thriving part of our community, we appreciate your continued participa-

tion and support throughout the year.
