I attended the First Friday Art Walk on Santa Fe Boulevard here in Denver last night, and as usual the street was packed with art lovers. Or to be more accurate, party lovers. The food trucks were doing a booming business, and where once a Japanese artist worked on his paintings in the window of Artwork Network, there is now a cash bar doing a steady business (as seen in the photograph on the left). And the most crowded place in the neighborhood? The Renegade Brewpub.
Music also seemed to be a big part of the evening, as can be seen in the photograph on the right, where art lovers, looking for just the right painting, are serenaded, if you can call it that, by local musicians. There were also a lot of street musicians out and about, including a group banging away on their drums, which after a while got to be pretty damn annoying. I did see some nice photographs on display last night, but a lot of the galleries were still showing the same art they had up last month. I personally feel you should change out your artwork every month, just like your underwear, but that's just me.
