September First Friday ARTWALK

Each first Friday of the month, all the artists have their doors open free to the general public to come and see their artwork.  There is a real variety each time, and often there are  new artists whose work is displayed prominently.
The glass blowers are always fun to watch but never enough time to see them make the final product IF you plan to visit the other art places downtown.

The artist who did this one has just  moved to Vancouver.  He says he will participate in shows each month now.  All his paintings are abstracts and come in different sizes.

Musicians play at many of the art sites because MUSIC is an art in itself!
This sculpture was made in many layers of paper.  It was impressive to see each layer.
Photography of doors. . . this should be familiar to several of my visitors. . .

And last, but not least, metal sculpture. . .
So many more beautiful paintings and such to see.  First Friday art walk is always a blessing.  We get to share in the art of these artists and even enjoy free refreshments at each place also!  My friend, Glenn (who died last year) introduced me to the Art Walk and I  go each month ever since. There's a small group of us who go faithfully.  Thanks Glenn!

  3. Looks like fun, Paulie, but I won't be choosing any of the sculptures you photographed for my house anytime soon. Maybe the doors, though...

  10. Of course you know I loved that 1st abstract as well as the sculpture with the many layers. Thanks for sharing the art with us. If I lived near you, I'd want to go with you! I will be posting a link tomorrow to love local art here in Columbus, GA.
