Friday Night

We've made it to the weekend (well almost)! Tonight, Friday, March 2nd, is the monthly First Friday Gallery Crawl in Gunnison. From 5 to 7pm, local artists will be featuring their creative and thought-provoking works at a variety of locations in town. Many of the galleries have appetizers and refreshments to help set the relaxing mood of viewing art and meeting with the artists and friends.
Start at the Gunnison Arts Center, 102 S. Main St. and view "The Gunnison Open". The theme is "Green" and showcases the work of local artists in different mediums.
Head north across Tomichi Avenue to the Gunnison Gallery at 124 N. Main and enjoy the vivid landscape photography of Rob Fillmore. Rob, a local geologist, has taken stunning photographs of the redrock country of the Colorado Plateau. There's an added bonus, listen to the wonderful music of local vocal artist Kevin Walters. The Gallery also features the works of 45 local artisans.
Again heading north, stop by Rocky Mountain Frames at 228 N. Main Street. View a new series of "En Plein Air" oil paintings by local artist Bill Folowell. Most of his paintings are of the Gunnison high country.
Your next stop is Mocha's Coffeehouse at 701 N. Main Street. Katy Able's mixed media paintings "Meet Me At Dawn" are on display. View the art work while enjoying the vocal folk music stylings by Katherine Taylor while you sample Mocha's free drip coffee.
Finish your evening with dinner and libations at one of Gunnison's fine restaurants, bistros, tavern, or brewpub. There's something to suit everyone's tastes.
Enjoy the weekend!
