First Friday "Art Walk"
February 6th 2009
generally 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Richmond, Virginia
The First Friday experience is not entirely about seeing the art, it is also the experience of rubbing shoulders with other art enthusiasts. In a sense the over crowded galleries are very annoying and off putting to those who truly just want to see the artwork, but on the other hand isn't it a great feeling to know there are so many others who appreciate viewing art! Furthermore wouldn't it be so sad if you attended a first Friday event where the galleries were empty? With this idea I set out with friends to join the crowds.
The Galleries I visited were:
1708 gallery
ghostprint gallery
studio/ gallery 6
aba
quirk
corporate and museum frame
(there might be a few others I have forgotten to mention)
I was not too terribly intrigued by the galleries contents as a whole but I would say it was worth the trip, I found a few pieces to be very interesting.
They include:
Brian Hubble, Stand Down, Graphite on antique paper
Matt Terrell, Human Hibernation, Ballpoint pen on paper
Kevin Cyr, Camping Far Out in the Wilderness Forges a Revolutionary Heart, Oil on Panel
Shane McAdams, Pen Blow #5, Ballpoint pen and resin on panel
Hale Todds, various works, Collage/mixed media
Nichole Maury, An Array of Plausible Perspectives: # 16, screenprint, carbon transfer, graphite, collage
The list goes on but those are just a few that really cought my eye
