Silver teapot and cups by Sarah Hutchison As usual, there is a lot to do on the agenda, so lets hope the rain holds off for First Friday.

The First Friday Agenda October 2008
Pete Sack at Morning Times Tonight will be a beautiful night to walk through downtown touring galleries and mingling with townies. The shows look good and the weather is just right. DesignBox hosts two shows that look fun, one, a reading of Big Beard, the Raleigh Quarterly’s children’s book that has been illustrated by artists from all over the nation. The artwork will be for sale and the live reading should be a hoot. DesignBox will also host a large selection of halloween masks painted and designed by local artists. Lump looks stellar as usual with a show curated by John Freeborn telling the evolution of the Philadelphia art scene. Rebus Works will host the poignant Pro/Con a politically themed show with masterful works by artists and veterans. More Below The Fold Our Visual Map and Guide to All the Shows
