2nd Friday Art Night (2FAN): 
 
Join us for 2nd Friday Art Night (2FAN), a downtown Little Rock after-hours art event that happens on the second Friday of each month from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Events are hosted at several locations in downtown Little Rock by various organizations. 

This month’s 2FAN on July 12 will host these organizations:

Blue Umbrella (a nonprofit representing local artists with developmental disabilities)

Arkansas Arts Council (a nonprofit dedicated to promoting the arts)

Art Outfitters, which will be doing a calligraphy demo

 

These artists will be selling their creations:

 Rachelle Logan, weaving and woodburning

Mamula Art, handcrafted jewelry, prints, and art

Coco Luna Designs Studio, “perfectly imperfect” ceramic and stoneware for home and garden

Julie Cipriano, jewelry

 

Music provided by:

Curtis JJ Adams, a longtime fixture of the Little Rock music scene who is known for his unique mix of jazz and pop styles


CALS hosts its monthly 2FAN event at the CALS Rock It! Lab at 120 River Market Ave. Each month, attendees will be greeted with local artists selling their work and/or providing art demonstrations, a DJ or performer playing music, and light refreshments and libations. 


The event is free to attend and parking is free with validation in the library lot/deck (as space is available). Stop by each second Friday to chat with local artists, shop locally from Arkansas makers, take in some music, and sip wine with friends!
