Ice Cream Shop Turns Into Art Gallery In Point Pleasant Beach
POINT PLEASANT BEACH, NJ — Summer may still be two months away but glimpses of summer can be found in the windows of a local ice cream spot. The owners of Salty's Inlet Ice Cream have turned its windows into an art gallery and are showcasing the works of a local photographer. Steph Salardino, one of the owners of Salty's Inlet, said the ice cream shop is still closed for the winter, but she wanted to put the shop's location and windows to use for something positive. "I reached out to awesome photographer Kate Watt who takes all of the beautiful drone images of the beach and asked her if she would like to display her photos in the windows, kind of like an art gallery for her," Salardino said. "They look gorgeous," she said, and shared a Tik Tok video of the storefront."Stephanie contacted me back in November about getting some prints for the windows of Salty's while they were closed for the winter," Watt said. "It’s a true honor to display my work in such a popular location where I know it’s being appreciated."That grew out of projects the two had worked on since Salty's opened during the summer, Watt said, that were an opportunity to promote both the ice cream shop and Watt's work. "As a small artist that means a lot to me," said Watt, who said she is just getting started as a professional photographer. "While I’ve been taking photographs since early high school, these last few years are the first I feel I’m being recognized for them," she said. "I’ve always appreciated looking at any form of art at a bigger scale, so viewing my work at that size at the store was so spectacular."Watt's photos and videos can be seen on her Instagram account. ""I’m very grateful for the store's support as well as anyone who has supported me to get to this point," she said.Salardino said it's something they will likely do every winter, featuring new artists, if there is enough interest. Anyone is interested in buying prints of Watt's photos can contact her via email at [email protected] or through her Instagram account.
