A Creative Art STUDIO: “Putting ART in the HEART of Denton”

We obviously have some great new participants, and I took the opportunity of changing the look of the site to also add the newcomers to the site. Many of the kinks that had been finding their way into the site I’ve ironed out as well. Please join me in welcoming Atomic Candy, Seven Mile Cafe and SCRAP Denton. We also now have a permanent spot for The Chestnut Tree Tea Room. Not only do you have links in the sidebar, you will find a description of your businesses on pages that most closely match your “category” of business. As always, First Friday Denton benefits from links from you just like you benefit from links going your way from First Friday Denton.

As you peruse the new site, there is a sidebar on the right, and there is also information at the bottom. In the right sidebar, along with everything else, are the links for everyone involved. IF you have been missed, or want to be added, you will want to let me know.

Make sure you welcome Atomic Candy Owner Tim Loyd to the list of First Friday when you stop in at 105 W. Hickory St. His hours will be short on First Friday, closing at 8-pm is necessary as part of his location, so what you do is go get dessert first, then go eat! You can visit Atomic Candy’s website at www.atomic-candy.com, and be sure to check out their Facebook page as well at https://www.facebook.com/pages/Atomic-Candy/142414829202725?sk=info

View new art works by Michael Furrh at 7 Mile Cafe . The cafe is regularly open from 7-3 but will stay open until 4 for First Friday Denton. Patrons can view the art and get their french press fix at the evening revs up. 7 Mile Cafe is located at:
311 West Congress Street Denton, TX 76201

UNT On The Square is having a wonderful retrospective look at UNT faculty members from 1890-1980. I know one of the artists, Richard Davis, whose work is featured there while there are probably many more that anyone involved with UNT Art programs over the years would recognize.

Be sure to stop in and check it out.
