First Friday happens at Gallery 54 each month from April to December. Each First Friday brings a new featured artists’ work. October features Terry Askey Cole, one of our ceramic artists. The front of the gallery has a wonderful intimate area where the featured work is displayed. Shelves hold the precious objects and all the owners help to keep this space arranged to give our customers a feast for their eyes. Every member has the opportunity to present his or her art in this way. April is a group self portrait show and December the annual holiday exhibit. The other months are shared between the 14 members. This brings up the whole concept of an artist owned gallery. All of the members have a hand in keeping our gallery working smoothly. First Fridays bring in food, wine and cooperation as the evening progresses. The flag goes out every month, one brings in the balloons, one the table as another brings out the table cloths and another makes the wine table ready. It’s a festive time for all as we gather to support and celebrate each other in an atmosphere of mutual respect.
