it's time for first friday at railroad square art park
with the end of the academic year, tonight's attendees at the art park might start missing big bend contemporary's recent role as a nexus for railroad square festivities, but on the upside, as we move into summertime, daylight and twilight stretch through the first friday hours. somehow, lingering outdoors as the sky darkens is often more relaxing for me than starting the night off in the dark.
but when i do head indoors to see what's new tonight, i am excited about stopping by the 621 to check out the sculpture of tallahassee resident ira hill. the theme over there tonight is "industry" and the trio of featured artists comment on various aspects from bioengineering to the environmental impact of land development. and as always, you can still get a dose from the fsu art studens' league in the adjoining nan boynton memorial gallery.
and if the show at 621 is a little too grim for your tastes (last month i had to devoutly avoid the vivisection photography) but you still want to see new sculpture? maybe tim eddy's paper craft--described "charming" and "whimsical"-- would be more your speed. it's on display at j. clinard studio.
finally, wherever you find yourself around the art park tonight, keep watch for blogiversity bloggers handing out blogiversity fliers--and be sure to say hello!
