Juneau First Friday April

This was our third first Friday.  This is a activity we don't take part in at home in Anchorage because we can't just walk out the door and have four or five stops within easy walking distance.

I have to say the variety that we saw Friday was quite amazing for just three show.  Juneau really smart and talented folks.  It was Sue Kraft's "Familiar Places" at the State Museum. All the paintings were local spots.  And some very familiar to us.  Like Observatory Books.

And though we didn't know it as "Metcalfe Manor," this house is so close to where we live, the house we live in is in this picture as well. 

The State Museum even provided jazz for the evening.

 Brian Wallace had a great exhibit of musician photos, including a number which featured the same artist photographed years apart, and I believe most pictures were related to the Juneau folk festival which begins next week.

Then we walked over to the Juneau Arts and Humanities Council where they had a show of UAS students competition pieces.

 Then off to the Canvas. 

I couldn't help playing with the top set of knots once I got it on the computer.

Here's the artist MK MacNaughton.  She'll probably hate this post because I focused on the strings and paper knots instead of her pencil drawings.  Sorry.
