2nd/Second Friday Art Night

Shop local, take in some music, and sip wine with friends!

The event is free to attend and parking is free with validation in the library lot/deck (as space is available). Street parking is also free after 6:00 p.m.

At our monthly 2FAN event (held in the Roberts Library for January!), attendees will be greeted with local artists selling their work, art demonstrations, social knitting, a craft table, a DJ or performer playing music, and light refreshments and libations. Stop by each second Friday to chat with local artists, shop locally from Arkansas makers, take in some music, and sip wine with friends!  
 
This month, join us for a collage party with mixed-media artist Equilla Marie Walker and CALS Memory Lab coordinator Meredith Li! Send any of your photos you’d like to include in your collage to memorylab@cals.org and we’ll provide up to three 4x6-inch photo prints. Have physical photos, photo negatives, or mounted slides you’d like to use? Scan them with the Mobile Memory Lab on-site at 2FAN and get a printed copy. Collaging supplies will be provided. And for January's 2FAN, everyone who attends has the chance to enter to win an Arkansas piece of art and a little CALS swag. One entry per person, and four winners will be selected. Winners may collect items by appointment or at the next 2FAN. 

And visitors can head downstairs to the Underground Gallery to view From the Vault, works from the CALS permanent collection. 
  
PLUS: 2nd Friday Knit Night (part of 2FAN). Bring your WIP (work in progress) and hang out for an evening of social knitting. Don’t know how to knit? We'll teach you. Supplies provided.    

Made possible by generous funding from the CALS Foundation and the Windgate Foundation.     

The event is free to attend, and parking is free with validation in the library lot/deck (as space is available). Street parking is free after 6:00 p.m.    

Also, the 2nd Friday Art Night Film at the CALS Ron Robinson Theater features When Harry Met Sally (1989, R), 7:00-9:00 p.m. More info here: https://centralarkansaslibrarysystemcals.libnet.info/event/15404794
