The First Friday Agenda February 2008
Donald Furst at Adam Cave Fine Art Finally after what could be called the Raleigh Art Scene’s winter (with the death of two staples of exhibit space, Glance and Bickett), we have Spring. Two new galleries are opening their doors this Friday—Adam Cave Fine Art and The Body Center. Whether or not they will fill the void left by Glance and Bickett is yet to be determined, but ACFA has a beautiful space in the old Heilig-Levine Building and TBC’s hybrid of meditation and progressive art may just be weird enough to work.

The First Friday Agenda - September 7th 2007
This month we asked the downtown art brain Tracy Spencer to do our First Friday coverage. Here is her run down of the best of what Raleigh has to offer, remember to use our Raleigh First Friday Map and Guide. -David Lots of good things to see this month! Seriously- Fall is the best time of year for Raleigh art, and September is looking like a great kickoff.Things not to miss: Flanders: (18 Seaboard) Between Worlds: Recent work by Amy Funderburk. This show looks phenomenal, if just from the card image. The new kid on the block, Flanders is proving to be an incredible gallery. Let’s support it. Lump: This month Lump showcases the kinetic sculpture of CoD professor Dana Raymond - Mechatronic Symphony. Dana’s large scale wooden pieces are always inviting and clever, but this time he is introducing electronic motors. Worth the two block walk. Many More Shows Below the Fold
