Eureka was looking pretty good last evening, although the turnout was less than I've seen on past Arts Alive evenings. The first thing we saw, of course, was a family of raccoons at a street corner a block from the Morris Graves. The mother and her three kits were on safari, looking for whatever they could scrounge up. We could get within 5 or 6 feet of them, and they would chirp at us, totally unafraid. We stayed close until we saw them cross the street and disappear in a yard dense with foliage. Hopefully they were able to stay away from street traffic.
The Morris Graves was, well, quite familiar. The shows were basically the same as this time last year - same show, different art. It was good seeing a lot of familiar faces - talked to some old friends.
We then cruised down to First Street Gallery, which is owned and operated by the University. Whimsical sculpture and eco-indigenous paintings were the topic there. Again, not nearly as busy as in past openings.
After a couple of drinks, we just cruised around the rest of the evening, enjoying talking about, well, art-related topics. Imagine that.
