First Fridays rule!

Posted by Pinkie on April 3rd, 2008 14 Comments

Migration Gallery on 5th StAwwwww, Fridays. Everybody loves ‘em. There’s a lot to love about tomorrow too, because it’s gonna be about 70° and art-ilicious on the Downtown Mall. All the art galleries and quite a few restaurants will be opening their doors to let us come in and bask in the glory of art. Some will have wine and snacks. You know you love free booze. The C-VILLE’s got the list here:

First Friday Gallery and Restaurant Listing

(Thanks C-VILLE for doing all the work for me.) Hope to see some of you out and about! I’m gonna leave you with this video of an elephant painting because that’s just awesome.

    Sorry for the cryptic message pinkie, but I made a few small changes to your post. I’d thought you might notice and I wanted you to know who the culprit was. It’s mainly “in-house” stuff. If you have any questions drop me a line.

    Or we could just talk about it here since nobody’s commenting anyway.

    Sweet link. Does that make the pig a local artist?
