Rockland’s First Friday Art Walk for October 2016 will take place from 5-8pm on 7 October.  Many Arts In Rockland members will be open, including: Asymmetrick Arts, Black Hole, The Strand Theatre, Landing Gallery, Harbor Square Gallery, Archipelago, 25 Oak Gallery, Craft Gallery, CMCA, Jonathan Frost Gallery, Yvette Torres Fine Art, Maine Coastal Islands Gallery and Michael Good Gallery.

25 Oak Gallery continues to show “From the Depths”, exploring water and working “from the depths” intuitively in abstract painting.  Artists Ingrid Ellison, Krisanne Baker, Steven Aimone and Katherine Aimone are making the final weekend of their exhibit at 25 Oak Gallery extra special:  For the Art Walk there will be live music with Robin Lane, a classically trained cellist from 6 to 6:30 PM. 

Yvette Torres Fine Art will be open, showing the work of Anne Ayvaliotis, a later-generation Abstract Impressionist who moved to Maine in 1963.  Her work is in collections of the Portland Museum of Art and at the Farnsworth Art Museum.

Jonathan Frost Gallery will be holding an opening reception (from 5:30pm) for “Views of the Natural World.”  It includes work by Susan Beebe, Susan Bryant, Jeannette Martin, Linda Simmons-Arnold, Susie Starr Smith, and Barbara Vanderbilt.  Steve Lindsay will play jazz piano.

CMCA invites everyone to stop by for karaoke in the courtyard (weather permitting or in the lobby if not) and ArtLab Open Studio with materials and hands-on project inspired by Don Voisine’s paintings currently on view, also a raffle for two CMCA florescent orange WOW hats, just in time for hunting season!  On View: Don Voisine: X/V and Lauren Henkin: Second Nature

CRAFT Gallery will be showing its final show of 2016, featuring six CRAFT artists whose work has been included in the 2016 and 2014 Biennials at CMCA.  Live music by Blind Albert will be outside in the heated and lit courtyard.

Landing Gallery’s new exhibit, “Plein Air Pairing” will be on show with new paintings by Monique Lazard and Tom Curry, and will continue through October 30th.

The Strand Theatre will be open and screening the documentary EVA HESSE at 8pm, co-presented by the Farnsworth.  Eva Hesse (1936-1970) was one of America¹s foremost postwar artists. Her pioneering sculptures, using latex, fiberglass, and plastics, helped establish the post-minimalist movement.

Black Hole will unveil the gallery’s Purple Initiative for 2016, to benefit and lend support to New Hope for Women.
