Hosts for First Friday

We need people to volunteer to host our First Friday events.  These occur from 6 – 8 the first Friday of each month.  September, October and November will be extremely important as the LUX will be having a special First Friday event celebrating their mural artists, October will be our Fall Show and we want to be on hand at both the LUX and our gallery as we send viewers across the street as an extension of our LUX show, and November will be the start of our Veterans Show and anticipate outside artists that participated in the show to come in that evening for the kick off .  Contact Kirk, or let us know at the September meeting.  Janet Fraley is hosting in September.

Emerge and Splurge at the LUX

  • Lux is promoting the area around University Place by creating a passport program from September 5 – September 18.
  • We will be participating by stamping passports from people visiting the gallery AND the creation of a gift basket for the LUX to donate for a prize.
  • Bring any small items to donate and put in the basket at the gallery prior to Change Day September 1.  Items might include, notecards, jewelry items, small paintings, sketchbooks, drawing utensils, gift cards etc.
