Mar 4-8: This is The Big One
I honestly looked for any reason to omit events from my list for this week because it’s not only First Friday, it’s also the Month of Photography AND the 100th anniversary of International Women’s Day. However, delivering a short list this week is impossible. The overwhelming amount of great art opening this week and ongoing this month is mind boggling. Call the neighbors, wake the kids, it’s time to see some art.
