Few Westside galleries have reopened for First Thursday evenings. Artist coops Blackfish and 114 seem to be open. Russo Lee and Waterstone are back on schedule. The curated street art and crafts show on NW 13th around Irving is more of a street party than ever, not contemporary art https://urbanartnetwork.org/.
The most important show tonight is from the next generation at the Russo Lee Gallery. Samantha Wall has Beyond Bloodlines, large ink drawings that use whitespace more than her previous work. Lisa Jarrett has Heart Condition. You can preview the shows at https://www.russoleegallery.com/exhibitions/samantha-wall5 and https://www.russoleegallery.com/exhibitions/lisa-jarrett2. Highly recommended. At Laura Russo Lee Gallery www.russoleegallery.com 805 NW 21st early close 5PM-8 Free
Photographer Ian Van Coller all the way from South Africa speaks about his climate photography projects tonight. RSVP and proof of vaccination required. Talks are produced out to YouTube for later viewing. https://www.blueskygallery.org/programs-events/2022/6/2/artist-talk-ian-van-coller at Blue Sky Gallery 6PM Free
