John, Jeannette, and I went to downtown Anchorage today for First Fridays. For those of you who don't know, "First Friday" refers to the opening of art galleries and studios for the display of art. It is designed to raise awareness of art and to create a market for it.
We went to several galleries. We saw a lot of mediocre art and some sound work. The innovative pieces were mostly in new mediums-- like jewelry and scarves. It reminded John and I both of First Fridays in Phoenix about 10 years ago. If Anchorage follows the Phoenix trajectory, it could be a really great art community soon. :)
