First Friday Denton at A Creative Art STUDIO

Come enjoy Art and Music at First Friday Denton, September 3rd at A
Creative Art STUDIO from 7 – 9 pm.

We are very pleased to announce that Vanessa Helvey and David White
will be performing at the Studio. Vanessa’s lilting voice, her
Americana Folk Rock and David’s guitar and mandolin, will soothe your
heart after a hard work week. Come and relax with us, enjoy a glass of
iced tea, and a wonderful evening of music, art and friends.

There will be drawings for free Yoga class, Reiki, Massage and more.

We hope you will join us for this event.

These will be “news-like” interviews, video, microphones – the works, so be prepared to be on camera for the whole First Friday Denton world to see. If there’s an “overwhelming” response, we could see if we can fit in more than one “Feature.” That shouldn’t be too difficult.

First Friday Denton will be out and about with video and still photography this First Friday, so send in those blurbs if there are any still out there.

If you are a First Friday Denton participant, and are making special plans for the next First Friday Denton, or are planning your own vacation for that time – please let us know so that we can send the masses of fresh fall faces to those locations that will be open for the next First Friday on September 3rd.

We are constantly collecting photography from locations involved with First Friday Denton, and if you want your photographs included be sure to send them in .jpg format and tell us who took the photograph and who / what the photograph is of (a cutline).

Below are two recent images sent in from the cellar 22.

We have a wine by the glass menu and a food menu. The glasses of wine vary in price from $5.00 – $12.00. The food on the menu now consists of sandwiches, cheese plates, chips and dips, and salads. We are adding to the menu on a regular basis, so keep looking for new items coming soon. If you would like to drink wine that is not on our menu, you are more than welcome to purchase the bottle and drink it here. If you choose to drink the bottle in our wonderful cellar, we will add $5.00 to the cost of the bottle. As always, if you don’t finish the bottle, you can put the cork in it and take it home.

We are so very excited about our new location and we know you will be too once you come check it out! Please follow me on facebook under “cellar twentytwo” so I can keep everyone informed on what is going on at the store!

I can’t wait to see all of you at the cellar!!!!
Thank you so much for all of your patience,

I am sorry for any inconvenience this may cause, but once the ball gets rolling for the holiday season, we will all be concentrating on other things, so now is the time.

A Creative Art STUDIO

Come enjoy Art and Music at First Friday Denton at A Creative Art STUDIO. Last week we finished hanging our new art show and have added over eight artists to our gallery so we hope there is something for everyone. We are excited to have Gregory Conlin, courtroom sketch artist, doing portraits from 5:00-9:00. At our recent art show Gregory was such a success we are asking him back. The 16×20 portrait sketch requires a sitting of about 30 minutes and if you rather, you can call the studio and set up an appointment. If you don’t get your portrait done, you can watch him create his masterpieces. From 7 – 9 pm we are very pleased to announce that Simone Nicole will be performing in the studio. Simone is a singer-songwriter and guitar player from the DFW area who you don’t want to miss. Her music genre can be described as a combination of pop, blues and a little alternative. Join us for a wonderful evening of music, art and friends.

Be sure to check out the MAP page if you are unsure as to locations. To receive automatic updates for First Friday Denton happenings, register on the site. We welcome comments and any information related to First Friday Denton, as we strive to make this event one that is vibrant, fun and beneficial to everyone involved.

Be sure and gird yourselves for the next First Friday because, believe it or not, Denton’s university population will already be back and in full fall swing. As the fall season heats up … cools off … First Friday will be looking for new locations to connect individual artists to the community, and we will need help from First Friday vendors as well.

Here’s what we will need as fall approaches:
1 – Design – A fresh design for First Friday Denton logo
2 – Printing – Posters for First Friday Denton participants to put in shop windows that show them as a participant as well as the listing of other participants
3 – Meeting – we will have a meeting (probably after FFD September) to touch base and plan the rest of 2010

We will have more needs as they become known, and as always, First Friday Denton thrives on the creativity of its participants. If anyone has skills that would help to make the short list (above) happen, their help would be greatly appreciated.

Reminder – Please send your blurbs in for the NEXT First Friday Denton event as soon as possible, and we will get them posted in a timely way as things take on a faster seasonal pace. Please send us images of your locations from this First Friday Denton event and all future First Friday Denton events as well as reviews on how your First Friday turned out. We will be glad to run them, and once we have enough images, will create a gallery page of event images. Images should be .jpeg and do not need to be sized. Blurbs and reviews will be edited for spelling and punctuation, but not valid content.
