The Cubans are coming to Northern Liberties' Projects Gallery this First friday and through May 30 in a traveling exhibition titled Aqui Estamos (Here We Are in Spanish), which is not only curated by the author of this entry, but also represents the first ever appearance in the Philly area by some of the top names in Cuban art from both Cuba and the Cuban Diaspora.

It's a new year, and new hopes abound in the air, and this Friday is the first Friday of February and new art will be on display in our area's art galleries and venues.

Fun around town, for $10 or less:

First Friday gallery openings return in force to the city as the "new" art season unofficially starts with the September openings. We've already told you about Northern Liberties' Projects Gallery opening its exhibition season with Fresh! 2008. This invitational exhibition includes an impressive number of the city's emerging artists, including many recent graduates from various art programs. The First Friday artists' reception is tonight, from 6-9 p.m. Projects Gallery is located at 629 N 2nd St at Greene Street in Northern Liberties.

We're big supporters of new emerging artists and thus we're really looking forward to seeing Northern Liberties' Projects Gallery open its 2008-09 exhibition season with Fresh! 2008.

Time again for First Friday gallery openings and receptions, and time to get crawling from gallery to gallery for a sip of wine, an eyeful of new artwork, and hopefully the chance to add some good artwork to our collections. First Friday is hard to beat as a once-a-month must-do for art lovers, art collectors, artists, and even tourists.

One of the first things many art-loving new arrivals to Philadelphia become addicted to is the First Fridays gallery crawl in Old City. With loads of good art openings, plenty of free or cheap white wine, a bite to eat here and there, and spectacular people watching opportunities, First Fridays is hard to beat as a once-a-month must do for art lovers, artists, and wannabees.

Holy crap, people! It's 2008!

The weather's gotten colder, but First Friday still has some goodies that should get you out of your homes, apartments, and cardboard boxes. So put on your fall jacket, nip a little wine or whiskey to keep warm, and get out to First Friday for some great events.

Is it First Friday again already? We had so much fun at the last one that we're not sure what time we finally got home. We do remember drinking plenty of wine and eating plenty of cheese. We even remember making some impulse purchases. Oh, and fawning over an artist that we've always admired, thereby probably frightening her a good deal. This month, we're going to try schmoozing first, drinking later, and see how that works out for us. Spots you might find us:
