Last night was hopping at the Continental Club at 816 South Elm Street. Viva Le Vox with the Tremors, among a backdrop of artwork by Jack Stone and Frank Russell. The guest list read like a Who's Who is Greensboro artists. We didn't even have a chance to interview anyone because artists were having deep, meaningful conversations with each other. Above, accomplished mixed-media artist Jerry Cartwright and Frank Russell are discussing Frank's mixed media pieces. The fish hanging from the ceiling are also Frank's artwork. You may recognize them from local restaurants over the last decade. The event was billed as a vernissage- the first usage of the word we've heard in Greensboro. Let's hope vernissages are trending in Greensboro. The back room of the Continental Club is perfect for these events, and Preston Wiles was the perfect host. The almost-solstice, very full moon was an added bonus.
Today, the arts will continue to thrive with the Summer Solstice event at the Greensboro Arboretum from 2:00 p.m.- 10:00 p.m. We can't wait. See you there.
Happy Saturday!
