This very night, the super cute thrift store / boutique / gallery The Curiosity Shoppe will be hosting its bi-monthly gallery opening. Every couple of months they stick a whole bunch of local artist’s works up on the walls, and do fairly brisk business with it. This cycle features new work by: Bryan Smith, Free Lauren Marsella, Liz Krick, Woodcut Block Prints by Rebecca, Key 77, Steven Michael Quinn, and Tiffany Davis. And you’re invited.
What does this have to do with Art in Bars? Besides my ongoing internal struggle as to include boutiques or not. (Psst – you can still vote on that issue.) Well, in addition to being a great source of very affordable local art, the opening will feature the styling (dj, performance, who knows) of Lunch Money, aka Art in Bars reviewers Mike and Tshombe. You should stop by. 9pm. It’s byo but ‘alcohol friendly’ and will feature competitive thumb wrestling, which is free to sign up for and participate in. See the work and mingle with the culturati of Philly. Come out support your local artists, local business and local economy.
