Begin your crawl by viewing the artwork and photography with a fresh cup of coffee, and live music at Room with a Brew in the Leonardtown Centre in “Uptown Leonardtown.”
Then make your way to the Maryland Antique Center complex. Refresh yourself at The Tea Room and view the artwork of local artists at the Lord Calvert Gallery and E&M Art; preview the new show opening at Heron’s Way Gallery and see period artwork displayed by the Maryland Antique Center dealers. Right next door you can visit Shelby’s Specialties, Turning Leaf Gallery and The Olde Town Crafters.
Then it’s just a short 1.6 miles to “Downtown Leonardtown” were you can peruse Fenwick Street Books, choose delectables from The Good Earth Natural Foods Co., or fill your printing and graphic needs at Hill Top Graphics. The crawl’s final destination is The North End Gallery that has a new art show and reception every first Friday! There is no better way to finish off the evening than a lovely dinner at Café Des Artisits!

If you missed last Friday’s “First Friday Gallery Crawl” from Uptown to Downtown Leonardtown, don’t worry, you can catch the next “First Friday” coming in August.

Leonardtown businesses have banded together to showcase the great shops, galleries and bookstores located in ‘Uptown’ and historic Downtown Leonardtown.

Participating businesses are staying open late for the “First Fridays” and pulling out all the stops to accommodate visitors.

Check out the video and photos below from one of the stops on the ‘Crawl’.

Bob and Friends performed Room with a Brew from 6-8 p.m. July 8, raising funds for Hospice of St. Mary’s. At Room With a Brew there are rotating photography and art exhibits from talented locals, as well as art, photography, jewelry, and other hand crafted items for sale.
