Vee Hua 華婷婷It’s been a while since we’ve done some First Thursday coverage, but now’s the time to start ramping those up again! Go out tomorrow and see any of these lovely things:
BIG 100 ART SHOW
Chris Haberman and Jason Brown are hosting the Big 100 for the third year in a row. It will feature 100 + regional artists, with 15 works each. Everything is framed and $50, so it’s a good opportunity to get out and buy some holiday art. Strangely, no names and placard will be on display so it’s all about talent, not about hype! It is also in the SE rather than the NW/SW, as the regular First Thursday openings are, but, you know. Get in there and snatch stuff up quick.
4pm-2am. 21 over only, at Goodfoot.
