This video is from Chalk the Walk 2009. Every month the arts district has a special theme for the First Friday Events that happen year round.
Tonight is June’s First Friday! I hope you can stop by the gallery and studios. Live Music, Art and fun people! Food vendors, restraurants and activities for all ages. See http://www.cantonfirstfriday.com for a complete listing of all events and attractions.
Here’s a sampling of what goes on under our roof.
Lots of new art to see and buy Second April Art Gallerie! Jewelry, pottery, First Friday t-shirts and original, locally created art off all kinds by a whole group of talented artists!
Enjoy the coffee bar while listening to live music. Browse the gallery on the main level, pick up a theater schedule for future reference and come upstairs to see the individual artists studios.
I’ll be doing a painting demo on the second floor in White Horse Studio.
Essence Studio has a new look at a new studio on the main floor!
Journey Studios of artist Su Nimon has Canton Prints and fiber and textile wearable art.

Jeff Lowe and Carolyn Jacob are both photographers but one works in striking black and white and the other in vivid color. Both are worth seeing.
The AGOG Teen Gallery and The Bored Room house the up and coming talent of our high schoolers.
Rod Hardy, wood carver, muralist also offers detailed pen and ink home or office portraits.
There are more artists…. talented and varied….. stop by for a fun, interesting evening!
Sue,
What a great video. Wish it wasn’t so fast as I would have loved to see more of the artwork. Our art community here celebrates First Friday with a gallery hop. We used to have shuttle buses to take people to and from the galleries, which are around the city, but it proved to be way too expensive to continue.
Today’s First Friday is receiving a lot of play in the news media. Maybe it won’t rain, which has been an almost daily happening.
I hope our First Friday went well. We’ve gotten more than our fair share of rain also! The people who organize our FF do a really nice job of promoting and planning new events. Thanks for watching and commenting. Are you close enough to visit Canton? If so stop in sometime.
