That's a wrap.

Was it fun? You know it!!

The 1st First Friday of the year had so many exceptional sights, sounds, and tastes--it was impossible to experience everything the night had to offer. Below is a peek into one fabulous show: "WordPlay," at The Foundry, featuring photography by The Shutter Clique.  (What a privilege to be part of this show!)

Having fun in the interactive photo booth created by MySortedAffair!
"That photo is so funny!" Shutter Cliquers Jen Williams and Jessica Frey share a guffaw.
Crystal "Chiili" Alvarez welcomes you to The Foundry. :)
LissaFudge loves playing with words...and pictures.
Shutter Clique... simply yummy.

1st Friday events continued: ConTEXTual

Yet another (!!) awesome art exhibit which will be opening on First Friday, February 4th--this one at The Padre Hotel's Farmacy Cafe. ConTEXTual, a show about literacy, brings the talents of artists Barbara Reid, Claire Putney, Christine McKee, and Yvonne Cavanagh together for exceptional art and a great cause. I've been lucky enough to hang out with each of these ladies at one time or another and they are all lovely, gifted artists who excel in their medium. The show benefits First Book Bakersfield and is the second part of a year-long effort to bring awareness to various community issues through the use of creativity. The program, called "Creating Community" is presented by the Arts Council of Kern. Don't miss it!


And please see above for another of my quite randomly chosen personal photos which can nonetheless be construed as somewhat contextual. :)
