The theme for the April First Wednesday Art Walk is “Earth Without Art is Just ‘Eh’” and as has become the tradition for the monthly event, the environment and recycling are featured, a nod to spring.
Another rite of spring, the Jacksonville Suns baseball club, also will be featured Wednesday.
The team is taking over the courtyard at the Jacksonville Landing the night before the season home opener Thursday at 7:30 p.m. against Huntsville. The 2014 Suns are scheduled to meet fans and sign autographs at 7 p.m. accompanied by live music from Krackaa Jax, drink specials and promotions.
Also on the schedule:
• Mad Men Marketing along East Bay Street will display artist Ryan Boulware’s collection of objects made from salvaged materials.
