Science!
 
It’s free wine night, aka First Friday. Everything seems so muddled these days, with everyone chasing the coattails of the big art event of the month, or suffering the malaise of winter. Mix it up a bit and hit Frankford Ave tonight. Why Frankford instead of Olde City? Well, there’s a ton of receptions up there tonight, including one with a freakin’ Tesla coil¬†demonstration. How effing rad is that? For serious. Not only is there a demonstration to coincide with the Tesla-inspired art at Germ Bookstore, there are bars like Atlantis showing art, boutiques like Piranha Betty‚Äôs Art Market with music, art, and astrology,¬†the launch of a new storefront/collective/not really sure but it’s a party (VWVOFFKA) and even real legit galleries up there that you can be sure will be the focus of the arts discussions as everyone moves out of overpriced downtown (yes, I know no one calls any part of Philadelphia downtown, but it is down hill from the Frankford Arts ave, so . . .) Anyway. So many diverse arty things happening in that neighborhood. Check out Frankford Ave Arts listings page to see everything happening tonight, and support your local upstart arty¬†businesses!
