This is a night when most of the galleries are open late.   It’s the perfect time to have a nice dinner and then walk along Harrison Street to see what’s new.

Below is a preview…

Art Camp is in full swing.  This Friday some of the children’s artwork from the camp will be featured at several of the studio/galleries in the district.  Check out the new artists on the block!

Wonderwall Emporium, 329 B Harrison Street,  will be celebrating Sir Paul’s 68th BD!  The Harrison Street Ukulele Players is always such a joy to have for this type of festive and Beatle-related occasion. So, I hope a lot of you will ’come out to play’ and sing for the amazing Sir Paul McCartney at Wonderwall!  6P-9P.

Bead in Hand, 145 Harrison, will now be open until 8:00 p.m. on Thursdays & Fridays. Stop by to see our restocked supply of batik bone and bottle glass beads, and also new metal beads in copper, brass and silver as well as unique clay beads in a variety of shapes and colors.  For our complete schedule of events, please see our website.

Creative Changes Studio, 140 Harrison Street, will have their Third Friday Personal Victory Celebration - pot luck.  It’s a time to share your story with others, no matter how ‘big’ or ’small.’  For our complete schedule, please go to our website where you can also obtain information on our bicycle classes.

From 5:00-9:00 you can enjoy an organic burger, have a beer and listen to a band at The Buzz Cafe, 905 S. Lombard Street.
