June 6th | First Friday Event

First Friday Event 5:30 - 7:30
followed by Film Festival Party

The next First Friday event is upon us. This month will be featuring Matt Flint's painting. Flint's quiet geometry is a study of isolation and transformation. His work incorporates primitive, geometric patterns combined with a variety of subjects. Rich texture and subtle lighting, the result of working and reworking the canvas, are a meditative journey hovering between the concrete and temporal. View more of Matt's work here.

Also featured tonight will be the photography of Richard Speedy. Here is a brief blurb about Richard, his work and more:

Photographer Richard Speedy first heard the name “Julio Pagliani” around a crackling campfire while on assignment deep in the heart of Mexico’s rugged Sierra Madre. It was bestowed upon him by fellow wanderers of the Barrancas del Cobre as he was led by backcountry guide and friend, Santiago. He fell in love with the people of this region and made it his cause to help them sustain their way of life and culture without having to leave their homes and families for work. In collaboration with the Center of Wonder, we are happy to host Richard Speedy and his photographs, along with Julio Pagliani jewelry created by his extended family of Norogachi villagers. Joining Richard at the gallery for an artist talk will be Santiago, a Copper Canyon region backcountry guide.

Come join us to enjoy the beautiful works, a glass o' wine or a cold beer. When the opening ends, the party will just be getting started. The JH Film Festival will be having a party here at the gallery for pass holders with one of the rotating DJs from Thievery Corporation!
