THIS FRIDAY
SEE YOU DOWNTOWN
January 17th, 2014 is another 3rd Friday in Downtown Salisbury, from 5-8pm. 3rd Friday keeps rocking all winter long, just with a slightly different format. Artists and Vendors are now located inside The Powell Building and Parker Place Building on the Plaza. The winter set-up allows us to highlight more Fine Art, since an indoor setting means... well... we have walls! The restaurants and shops are open, and special events are happening all over Downtown, so it's the perfect time for a night out.
In the Powell Building, on the Plaza, we will have fine artists, jewelry artists, and a very special fine art showcase by Jason Kaminski. Jason has worked all over the country in a myriad of aspects of Art and Design, and while he has had individual works featured in galleries across the US, this will be Jason's first time doing a complete solo show. Jason's move to Salisbury, about a year ago, spurred a period of refocus on his art, and 3 rd Friday is ecstatic that he chose us for his debut showcase. "I chose 3rd Friday to support local art awareness. I could have gone a lot of places, but I really believe in what they are doing. It is my hope that this show will help bring more people to 3rd Friday and keep creativity alive in our community" says Jason. Jason's work is astounding; hand-drawn, large scale images will have you betting they are photographs. His hyper-realistic details, together with pulp noir grit and a distinct point of view, make his works impossible to ignore. He even did a special piece just for this Friday, collaboration with a local model Chelsea Eline, local poet Ghost Gardener, and a local tattoo artist Cyrus High, to recreate the classic "pin-up" icon, with a twist. The special edition print was created just for this show, and will be available for sale. Some of Jason's work will also be shown beginning February 5th at the Kent Island Federation of the Arts in the "Human Form' show. He is currently working on a new collection entitled "Fractures", which is a multi-medium exploration to expose the many faces of the human soul.
In the Parker Place Building, at the very bottom of the Plaza, more arts and crafts vendors will be set up. We've outgrown our Powell Building space and are so grateful to have a whole other space to use! So stop by, and check out local artists, crafters, jewelry makers, glass blowers, potters and more! Parker Place will also host The 3rd Friday Winter Acoustic Jam, presented by B&B Music, and SWAC will also be there hosting "Winter Arts and Crafts for The New Year!
In the Gallery Building, Art Institute and Gallery will be opening their first show of the New Year. The "Black & White Exhibition" opens on 3rd Friday, and also features a solo exhibit by Kurt Reddersen. Maya Bella's Pizzeria, everyone's favorite place to grab a quick bite on 3rd Fridays, will be offering free garlic knows with every 18" pizza! Dinner and a show! |

I think the bury needs a big bicycle and running race with sponsors putting up 10 grand and pack this city on a weekend!
I;m not gay. And i really am uncomfortable among them. Do I have to go?
Anon 9:39. $100 says you don't live in Salisbury and don't participate in anything. Stay gone. We all prefer it that way.
