The Avenue: Art and Theater

The Avenue

The Hippodrome Theatre turns 40 this Saturday

We know it as the historic building nestled between the high-end restaurants and hole-in-the-wall clubs that flood the streets on many weekends. But the Hippodrome State Theatre is a cultural hub of artistic expression and theatrical excellence. And it’s having a birthday.


A quilt hangs on the wall of the Gainesville Tower Road Library, 3020 SW 75th St. It is part of the Quilters of Alachua County Day Guild’s library display that celebrates National Quilting Month.

The craft of quilting

You might mistakenly call it a blanket, a bedspread or a cover. You might even correctly call it a quilt. For the Quilters of Alachua County Day Guild, a quilt is more than that: It’s a piece of art.
