May 2013 First Friday Artwalk: You're Invited!

We have an unusual schedule between now and late May:  Because the month's batik textile exhibit is "traveling" and must depart before the end of May, we have scheduled a week of early previews leading up to the First Friday Artwalk on May 3rd.  The Artists' Reception will be held on May 10th from 6-8 pm, when Agus Ismoyo and Nia Fliam will join us for the evening.  (See past postings for more information on the artists.)

For textile and batik afficionados everywhere, here's a tantalizing detail from one of the large batik art pieces in the show, Tumbuh, showing lots of lively flora and fauna in its Aboriginal symbols and earthy colors:

For First Friday, we again welcome Peter Spencer & Friends!  This month will feature fiddler Sarah Comer and appearances by three of Peter's guitar students:  JD Stahl, Natasha Stearns, and Willa Jones-Irwin.  The concert is free and will be, we have no doubt, fabulous!
