The First Friday ArtWalk has taken place on the first Friday of every month since the '80s.
This month, the ArtWalk will be guest hosted by two LCC instructors, Ellen Tykeson and Kate Ali. Robert Adams, another instructor at LCC, will be the featured artist at the third gallery on the tour, Goldworks Jewelry Art Studio.
The ArtWalk will begin this month's five-gallery tour at Jacobs Gallery in the Hult Center. The Jacobs Gallery features a two-part exhibit: "Carnival of Color", and "Impressions."
The second stop on the tour will be at Vistra Framing and Gallery, where the works of Kris Ibach will be on display.
Stop number three is at the Goldworks Jewelry Art Studio where Adams will talk about his work that is being displayed. Besides teaching art at LCC, Adams is also the art director for the Community Center for Performing Arts in Eugene.
The work of Judy Carter, Mark Longstreet, Tony Brown and Patty Duncan will be on display at the fourth stop, Full City Coffee Roasters.
The final stop will be at Oregon Crafted Gallery where they present a 6x6 show. Over 125 different artists have contributed diverse pieces of 6" by 6" artwork. That artwork can be purchased for $20 each.
While the ArtWalk is guided and hosted participants are not required to stay with the group, "Tykeson and Ali will interview the artists present there and then the audience will have time to ask any questions they might have," Jessica Watson, the First Friday ArtWalk Coordinator, said.
The group spends about 20 minutes at each venue before moving on. "You can just think of the ArtWalk as a downtown party with the opportunity to follow the tour and hear artist interviews," Watson said.
The event will last from 5:30-8:30 p.m. on March 5.
