Final/Faux/First Friday...with a twist...

So for the last few weeks I have been so pumped to go and see not only my peer's work hung in the Current presentation of work at WSU ShiftSpace but mine as well. Inviting friends and family to come and help me share the excitment of having something in a gallery I found that mine was not installed. After talking to three graduate students I found out that some of the work had to be axed due to the emense amount of work displayed. I was not that upset about my work not being up, but more of that fact that I was not notified and had my family and friends looking at me like I was crazy. On the other hand it was very nice to get to see the work of my other schoolmate's work and excitment in the gallery (Emily & Laura ;-]).

I thouroughly enjoyed the mixed media that was presented at City Arts with the use of painting drawing and print making. I went and viewed some other work down on commerce street that I enjoyed alot one dealing with new and old that used alot of paper cut. Some photography of lights. Ceramic creatures. Then making my way back near the warren to finish up the night with a drum jam session in the middle of the court with some friends.

I relish any chance I get to take a minute from the busy world I call my life to view art and listen to music. Final/Faux/First Friday did that for me even with the unexpected events that occured early that evening.
