Fri 12/5 @ 6-9PM
The Walk All Over Waterloo first Friday art walks get a little sleepy this time of year: it’s chilly walking between the various storefront galleries, and music on the outside Tower Stage is long gone. But there are still things to see and do — just bundle up!
You’ve got one more chance to catch Josie Krampitz and Nate Rouse’s show Little Treasures at the Praxis Fiber Workshop gallery. It’s constructed on wallpaper, interrogating its uses in the past and present, and possible the future. Across the street Article Gallery will showcase work by the artists who have studios in the space. Mary Jo Bole’s show of ceramic art continues at the William Busta Projects Gallery through January 3. And be sure to stop in Waterloo Arts where its holiday co-op sale is taking place and you can do some shopping from local artists with very affordable items available.
And while it might not be on the big outdoor stage again until May, the free Waterloo Makes Music concert series, sponsored by presented by Cleveland Rocks: Past, Present, Future, forges on, only indoors at the Treelawn Social Club. There, from 7-9pm, you can hear one of the area’s veteran singer/songwriters John McGrail, performing with his band featuring Jay Bentoff on bass and vocals, Sheela Das on flutes, whistles, guitars and vocals, and Beth Ann Woyshville on percussion, guitar and vocals. And guess who else? That’s right — it’s the tireless Mikey Silas, frontman for Apostle Jones, who is performing — let me check again — 8,622 shows before the end of the year. And every one of them well worth checking out!
