…or, more First Friday snapshots.
Here’s Nicole Longenecker, emerging artist of the month at the Red Raven Art Company, 138 N. Prince St., with some of her 
mixed-media works. “Geometric Obsession” (right) features acrylic paint and fabric recycled from other sources (including an old pillowcase) hand-stitched onto the canvas, part of her continuing experiments with new textures and mediums. “I enjoy trying new things in each painting,” she says in her artist’s statement. But her art also tells a personal story of a year of struggle with depression and her step-by-step emergence.
Over at Galerie Michelle, 226 W. Chestnut St., Charles Heisterkamp III discusses his new show of large-format digital-print portraits of street musicians, taken in Paris, Florence, New York and Lancaster in 2007 and 2008. Also featured this month are watercolors of South Cove, Battery Park City in New York by Linda Berkowitz. More information here.
Float! and Forbidden Ink held an Artist’s Flea market at the Muffin Street Cafe on 18 W. Orange St. Jason Berlet (that’s who Float! is) had a whole collection of pop/street art in milk crates, a stack of decks and some figures, too.
