There’s a long list of things to do this Friday for the monthly First Friday Art Walk.
For a complete list of participating galleries and restaurants, visit here.
Don’t forget New Raleigh’s First Friday Exhibition Map and Guide.

Here are my recommendations. If you have thick soles, this is a totally walkable/bikable evening.
In a little over two weeks- Design Expo will open. Design Expo is the State’s premiere design event, showcasing the work of Designers from all over the state. This years expo will be held in North Hills Mall @ 4209-119 Lassiter Mill Rd., Raleigh, NC 27609 from October 19th to November 4th, 2007.
The full schedule has yet to be released but soon will be available via dxraleigh.com.
Last night Meeker presented the the new “Art-on-the-Move” campaign. Twelve artists where chosen based on applications submitted earlier this summer. The campaign features some great Raleigh artists like Patrick Fitzgerald and Timothy Postell.

Things started off with a bang tonight at Spark Con. The 2nd annual event ramped up at 7:00 pm to a modest but engaged crowd. The opening of the event, the speaking events and the workshop portions are being held at the appropriate and funky new Vintage 21 space (in part of the old Jillians). Lead organizer, Aly Kahlifa, humbly presented the event as something that was, for the people by the people, and noted the diversity of creative genres participating in the overall event.
