We would love for you to submit some images to kristy@art979.com by March 8th. We are going to select at least 15 local photographers to showcase their work. If selected, you will be required to exhibit a piece, framed black in the 11X17 to 16X20 size range. Your piece will be tagged with your name and web contact info for advertising. Your piece will be for sale and if it sales mid month, you will be allowed to rehang another piece. The Village will take a 30% commision on the sale. Please pass this info along to any photographers you might think would be interested in this exhibit.
Tonight is our singer/songwriter night from 8-midnight! If you have not come out to enjoy it yet, you should today. Feel free to bring your instrument of choice and join in on the fun!
Our First Friday artist of the month is in fact a collection of the artists from the past year. We are having a silent auction to give you a chance to bid on the works to show our appreciation of what they do for the culture of Downtown Bryan. They generously give of themselves throughout the year to different fundraisers, so I thought we should give them a fundraiser of their own. Come out, bid early and bid often.
The music for Friday is Puente from 6-8pm and Kathy Ross from 8-11pm.
…Puente’s a “roots” band… not “roots rock”, just ROOTS… they do REAL ROOTS MUSIC… I’m talking AMERICA, here, folks…”The Grapes of Wrath”, or a blues bar in the backwaters of the French Quarter in New Orleans pre-Katrina… or in a hobo camp in the Thirties, or at one of the dances my granny took me to as a young child, or in the Cotton Club in Harlem in NYC in the fifties…could’ve been the 1890s, the 1930s, the Fifties, or last night…I LOVE PUENTE…
