BERLIN – Is Berlin on the precipice of an art and entertainment boom? Austin Widdowson, owner of Re:Fresh Media, believes that it is and can imagine a future where streets are alive with art and every bartender, lifeguard and mechanic has the opportunity to be an artist. Widdowson hopes to be part of that evolution, which is why he founded Re:Fresh in May.

It’s really going to be known as an arts community that has branded itself that way,” he said. Widdowson looks to be part of that branding process through Re:Fresh and as a member of the recently re-energized Arts and Entertainment Council. The council met with town leadership at the end of the summer with a host of project ideas, including free movies on Main Street.
