800 people attend Renaissance Roam

Posted May 17, 2008

800 people bought tickets to the third annual Renaissance Roam, which was tonight.

The event is a fund-raiser for Studio 1219, the arts incubator on Military Street in Port Huron.

Although the intent of the evening was one of business—its purpose was to raise money for the studio and provide exposure for local artists— there was a party atmosphere at ports of call such as New Orleans, in the former Harris House building on Huron Avenue, and Hamburg, Germany, in the Haynes’ building at the corner of Military and Water Streets.

Male volunteers in “Hamburg” wore vests that read “Kiss me, I’m German;” women
wore flowers in their hair. Guests could get a glass of beer and a handful of pretzels at the snack table to enjoy while admiring works of art.

“It’s absolutely wonderful to see people out and supporting the arts,” said Sue Andrews, who displayed fabric jackets at the Hamburg stop.
