Fourth Friday Arts Walk this week downtown

It is time for Downtown Wilmington's Fourth Friday Art Walk. It's a free monthly event where downtown galleries and studios open their doors to the public in an after-hours celebration of art and culture. Taking place from 6 to 9pm on the fourth Friday of each month, the Art Walk is a self-guided tour featuring exhibitions of various artistic genres including oils, acrylics, watercolors, pastels, photography, metals, ceramics, mixed media and more. Showcasing art and art-related events, Fourth Fridays also include opening receptions, artist discussions, live music, wine, food and other traditional art-activities.
There are nine galleries participating this Friday: Acme Art Studios, Bottega Gallery & Art Bar, Facade Design Studio, Golden Gallery, Montage Gallery at WHQR, New Elements Gallery, Peacocks Fine Art Atelier, Port Cit Pottery, and Three Hounds Gallery.
While, I love them all- Acme is my favorite. It is so interesting to walk through Acme, see what is hanging, but also have the opportunity to peak into the artists' studio space. I was in Acme last week and couldn't help but notice amazing new works in both Mio's and Pam Toll's studio spaces. Go there Friday!!
