First Friday Art Night On the first Friday night of each month (with rare exceptions*) downtown Grants Pass and Ashland both come alive, or I suppose I should say they stay alive, remaining open after their usual hours and playing host to our local arts community. It's the Roving Gallery Art Party, aka The Art Walk, and from 6 through 9 pm, artists and artisans exhibit their works and wares while mingling with the art-appreciating public. Typically there is more music in the air than is usual downtown on a Friday night (which is saying a great deal!) and refreshments are often served. More information, including a map, can be found at *First
Friday is rarely observed in January, and Back
to the Sixties!
I don't know... it's been close to 20 years that we've been doing it this way, but other than for the Vietnam War and the slump in the timber industry, the 60's weren't that bad, were they? I say let's get this show on the road and give the psychedelic era its due! We'll post a more comprehensive review & photoblog as soon as we resolve this weighty dilemma.... *
Back to the Fifties is a production of the Josephine County Fair August 18-22 Josephine County Fairgrounds Boatnik 2010 Boatnik* is just around the corner (relatively speaking..), Memorial Day weekend, May 27-31, and if 2010 is anything like 2009 it's going to be a blast — especially the fireworks display! The Carnival will set up at Riverside Park on Thursday Night. On Saturday morning, visitors and locals alike will flock into downtown for the annual Boatnik Parade. Then it's back to the park, and pretty much all along the river as far down as Galice, although the world famous hydroplane jetboat races on Monday will only go so far as Robertson Bridge and back. Scenes
from last year's Boatnik can be viewed online at *Boatnik is a production of the Grants Pass Active Club |
