LITERARY HAPPY HOUR in the West River Arts :

Free, curated, and interactive reading series put on by Hanifa Washington, designed to celebrate and cultivate a thriving literary and performance community where radical inclusivity of People of Color is a founding value. I’m really, really excited for this, the vibes will be so great, so many open doors and open hearts, a real treat! 

Welcome the newest WRA artist James Wise and Dooley, so pop by to welcome them to the neighborhood!

STUDIO FRERUVIUS : OPENING
4-8pm {Seond floor} 904 Whalley Ave Unit 2
Chris O’Flaherty’s Lunch Money Print and Daniel Eugene’s Studio Feruvius are teaming up for their first partnership with local artists in their DIY space in the ArLow apartments across the street! This partnership is centered around questioning the role of the artist in the 21st century— in a world suffused with visual language and commercial art, O’Flaherty and Eugene are exploring the living space of an artist as the point of departure for their exhibitions, in order to better communicate the distance between the artist as a living person and the artist as a social being. This will be open all day! 

KEHLER- LIDDELL GALLERY
873 Whalley Ave 2pm-5pm 
Kehler-Liddell’s current Inauguration Show is going to be taken down a few days after the 11th, so make sure you check that out, West River Arts’ own Mohamad Hafez has an exceptional piece up that really shouldn’t be missed! 

They will also be hosting a dance party from 2-5 to celebrate the launch of their Indiegogo campaign to support community arts programing. Admission and refreshments are free, so stop by before Literary Happy Hour! :)

Lyric Hall will be putting on another installment of their Impromptu! Classical Music series, featuring Gintov and Golodinskii. Tickets are $25 for adults, $18 for students and seniors, $5 for teenagers and children are free. Get your ~culture~ on! 

DaSILVA GALLERY: 10-5pm 
Jewelry by Diane Felber of Newbeaddesign, as well as handmade sweaters, bags and accessories from Ecuador, perfect for the holiday coming up! They’ll also have prints of nature photography for sale, as well as some small ceramics great for the upcoming Valentines Day.
