The first Friday of each month equals First Friday Art Walk in Portland, Maine. Picture streets packed with happy art walkers feasting their eyes on creativity spilling out of every nook and cranny. Darling Dina Varano has a sketchbook on view in The Sketchbook Project, which has landed there for another stop on it’s tour at Space Gallery. If I had a magic carpet I would swoop in and scoop up TrishDarling, we’d jump off at Otto Pizza to fuel our wandering, and then pop into some of these stops below. See the full listing of events here.

“Found” explores the lives of things after they’ve been discarded and rediscovered–the cast off, the first attempt, repurposed fabric, lost images–put together, these disparate elements unify each other and create a language of desire and acquisition. Featuring vintage Japanese indigo textiles, mid-century studio pottery, vintage snapshots.
