Arts/Crafts
MEG KRAKOWIAK GALLERY Grand Opening 6:00 pm
“OMG where did you get that bag?” This is what you will be hearing from every woman who approaches you to ask about your Inherited Leather purse by Sue Schofield. Where can you find said purse? You’re in luck. Kaviar Forge & Gallery’s newest holiday exhibit is featuring the work of several local leather artists in order to showcase the art of finely crafted leather goods in Kentucky: masks, jewelry, hats, baskets, belts, purses, and of course saddles will all be made available to purchase.
The Fat Friday Trolley Hop gets underway with another entertaining round of featured stops along Louisville's Historic Frankfort Avenue. It's expected to be a hot one, with heat indices hanging out around 100F.
Hop on the F.A.T. Friday Hop this evening to check out the opening of new shows on Frankfort Avenue and throughout the Crescent Hill area. For one a bit unconventional, Gallery Janjobe (www.galleryjanjobe.com, at the Mellwood Arts and Entertainment Center) will debut its Symbols exhibit featuring the work of artist Gena Neumann.
This weekend, everyone's all aflutter about Abby Road on the River.
I don't get it. It's all Beatles. All the time. If you ask me a group of 5 "bands" are pulling off the biggest karaoke scam the world has ever seen, yet people are willing to pay anywhere from $30-70 a ticket. Maybe it's all about nostalgia for the era. Gosh, wasn't it great when a miscegenation laws were still on the books in some states and girls deserved sexual harassment for being the kind of trollop who worked outside the home in the first place.
