First Thursday is a monthly event down in Fayetteville (where most things are in this area), and I had the opportunity to go earlier this month. It’s technically a free event, with art vendors and the Fayetteville Underground gallery, located inside the building atop whose balcony I shot that trio, are both open to general browsing.
The Underground uses it as an opportunity to switch up their exhibits as well. Obviously purchases can be made, but it’s mostly a nice venue to mingle and be inspired.
Or so I had thought.
My co-workers found out that there is also a wine-tasting happening in the old Bank of America building, that houses the Underground and in front of which the artisans sell their wares. So that’s where I was for most of the night. I paid some money in exchange for wine and a tour of some ridiculously opulent condos that were for sale/rent.
The floors were bamboo and the counters marble, but there were also some great mixed-media, textual, rough sketchy art for display/sale on the walls to make it a little less decor magazine. And the view from the balcony was phenomenal.
However, next month I think I’ll just hit the galleries. I went later in the month, and they were superb!
