Having a few days in between my shoots, I was lucky enough to find out about First Fridays in downtown Phoenix, which is apparently the largest art opening type of event in the US. It’s like the First Thursdays we have in San Francisco, but I was taken by how many families were strolling about with their kids exposing them to all sorts of arts and expressionism. It was great to also see kids artwork on display in some galleries and one of my favorites was The Kitchenette (site link doesn’t seem to be working) which was displaying new works by Betsy Schneider (photo above).
