July is well under way. Above is a scene at Elements Gallery, 526 South Elm Street, taken at last night's First Friday celebration. Greensboro has some great artists, visual and performing alike, and Elements Gallery is a co-op of about 45 artists. They all work together to keep this gallery dynamic and stocked with colorful items..
Last night, Vance Archer was playing fiddle. He also sells painted blocks of wood in the gallery. (Unfortunately, we didn't get the name of the guitar player). At last night's event, people enjoyed seeing the paintings, jewelry, pottery and other items offered for sale. During First Friday, Elements Gallery serves light appetizers and beverages, as do many of the galleries.
If you missed First Friday downtown, today, you can head to the festivities in the Lindley Park neighborhood. They will be celebrating from 12-8pm at the corner of Walker and Elam Avenues.
By the way, Vance is selling the painted blocks under the name "Artablockia." Here is their Facebook page with pictures: https://www.facebook.com/pages/ARTABLOCKIA/257872480914818?sk=wall&filter=12
