Weekend Gig: Holiday Art Bazaar + 1st Fridays

Repeating + reposting the gig again from last year, as it was a really fun time in a great venue - and the only such seasonal event I'm doing this year. So far.

Along with ongoing public demos I'll be peddling the usual wares: shirts, books, and original artwork, along with a new quartet of xmas cards as well. Stop on by the Morris Thompson Center today from 5-8pm, or tomorrow, Saturday, from 10am-4pm.

Oh but wait: there's a rash of First Friday openings: one not to miss is Teresa Shannon's "Repetition" at Keller Architects & Allied Arts... one of my personal favorites for local ceramics.

Two other friends are also having openings: Amy Reisland-Spear (Sitsoo's Studio) and Jan Sanders Stitt (Alaska Raven Studio) will respectively be at Bishop's Jewelry and Well Street Art Co.

And if all that wasn't enough there's a couple other happenings too: The Tanana Valley Farmer's Market's seasonal bazaar, and don't miss an amazing collective of artists displaying their works at "One Night Stand" - the roster includes darleen masiak, Robby Mohatt, Iris Sutton, MaryBeth Michaels and many more... an incredible pantheon of local women artists.
