Be sure to send in your blurbs in the next few days, and we will try and get them on the site in time for our next First Friday Denton event – in less than two weeks!
We are on the move, and receiving e mail could be hit-or-miss. Feel free to call – 8 zero 0 8 1 six eight two five 9 – and leave your blurb in a message if no one answers.
This is the time of year in Denton where everyone is just hanging in there, waiting for the weather to cool, students to return in full force, and we hope, getting ready for the first fall season of First Friday Denton. We all have a lot to look forward to and make sure you voice your thoughts on the commuter train schedule whenever and wherever constructive opinions are sought.

Denton’s sleepy summers are legend, and this one’s about half over already!
There’s no doubt there is a bigger spring in Denton’s step when all 47-thousand of UNT and TWU’s students are present and roaming our stores, galleries, restaurants and related services. It’s all just bart of the ebb and flow of Denton though, and you can’t have one without the other.
We are working on some new venues for artists and groups of artists who want to show work for First Friday events, but a lot of the contacts are away on vacation. So, hang in there if you are one of the groups, or individuals looking for a venue … these things are simmering just like an egg on a sidewalk around the Square.
First Friday always welcomes follow up reports on who came by their location on First Friday, and how things went from their perspective. Eventually, we hope to have a social post after each First Friday of all your photographs from your location’s First Friday Denton event. Here are some from A Creative Art STUDIO.

Can you believe it? It’s First Friday Denton again already, and I had a wonderful report from Robin Huttash on last month’s event that never made the light of day. I will run it if I can find it … with family retirements, visits and all … the cracks it fell through this month were bigger than usual.
Nevertheless, Robin, at A creative Art STUDIO, did come through again with information on this summertime First Friday Denton.
Hi Guys. I just completed a three day watercolor workshop and an so excited about painting. Tired, but still excited about art. Hope everything is going well. Just wanted to let you know the info about First Friday for A Creative Art Studio.
Next week we will again have music from 7-9. Polly Maynard will be playing. I am attaching a flier for the First Friday website. Let me know if you guys ever want to get together to plan.
Take care.
Robin
Also, Did you know the Wine Safari has moved and will be changing their name to The Cellar. They will reopen down by Dan’s (Silverleaf) Bar.
– Thanks again Robin, and everyone involved with First Friday Denton appreciates your reporting. -

Once again today is First Friday Denton! The Friday’s just keep rolling by, and First Friday Denton continues to pick up steam.
One of our participants – Cimarrona – will not be open this evening because owner Leslie Kregel is retiring from teaching art at Denton High School, and this First Friday is her last Friday at the DHS campus. There have been many well-wishers, and rest assured, she is excited about having more time to dedicate to her creativity at Cimarrona.
A Creative Art STUDIO
Join us at A Creative Art Studio for Live Music from 7-9. Adam Cline and Joel Dreistadt will be performing in the Studio from 7-9. Meet with friends, listen to Music and look at beautiful art.

Our most recent addition, Shambhala Wellness, is located on the edge of our soft boundaries at 215 E. University Drive here in Denton.
Their new location, a restored victorian home across from TWU, has its walls lined with art from different artists, and virtually every twist and turn through the house offers a different artist’s work.
According to Johanna Oosterwijk,N.D., and owner of Shambhala, “We believe that being surrounded by art enhances the total wellness experience.”
Currently Shambhala has work from artists Nell Elliott, Darlene Horst, Steve Sanazaro, Katie Keenan and Keri Burnside. They will be open until 9 this coming First Friday and will have live music, drawings for free yoga classes, free Reiki, free massages and more.

This First Friday’s guest artist is Marshall Kregel, and he will be showing his pottery at his cousin Leslie Kregel’s Cimarrona studio at 721 South Locust Street in Denton. Learn more about Marshall Kregel on his wordpress site, and follow him on twitter as well.
Since the last First Friday, Bumble Beads and Jupiter House Coffee have been added to the list of participants, and we also have a tentative mixer for those in and interested in participating in First Friday Denton, scheduled for May at the Center for the Visual Arts on Bell Avenue in Denton. Please check back for more details about the event as they become available.
If you have any announcements for this First Friday, it’s not too late to have them posted here on firstfridaydenton.com. We are anticipating a bit of publicity from the Denton Record Chronicle, so look for that on your news stand as well.
