It’s First Thursday once again and I’m pouring over the list of shows in the Independent to figure out what is on the itinerary for this evening. It looks like CAF has it’s “Anthology” show which I’m very excited about, but they also have a performance, which can make it hard to see the art. If anyone at CAF is reading, you should have performances on nights other than First Thursday. I’d get excited to see performaces there, but I’m not about to spend a First Thursday in a single place when there is so much to see at a variety of other locations. Anyways, I’m definitely going to check out the results of the 24 hour art marathon at Viva Workshop. And I’d also like to check out the Holiday Student Image sale at the Brooks Institute at 27 E. Cota. While on Cota St. I’ll also be checking out Perch Contemporary Art and Design at 25 W Cota. Then it’s on towards Studio 3 East. If it looks like there is room to move up there, I’ll head up. Regardless, I’d like to check out the paintings by locals like Channing Peake at the Patty Look Lewis Gallery next door. After that… who knows. Maybe the after hours party at Frameworks & Caruso-Woods. Or maybe home.  I hope to see big crowds out there.
