"Bastrop Love-Celebrate our Bridge" is the theme for October’s First Friday Artwalk event from 6-9 p.m. Oct. 6. Main Street will be adorned with local artwork commemorating the bridge for the event.
The event is free of charge and will feature musicians, such as live jazz saxophone and a guitar duo performance. According to Nancy Wood, director of events for the Bastrop Museum & Visitor Center, musicians new to the event will also perform.
Students of the Good Shepherd Lutheran Church have created art pieces of the bridge that will be posted at various businesses around downtown.
“Our beloved bridge has been a source of inspiration for countless artists throughout its centurylong history,” Wood said in a news release. “It's time to witness Bastrop's most cherished ‘Bridge Art’ creations as local and regional artists reveal their talents to the world.”
