Don’t blow it
How many times has this happened: You gather a pal or two to grab dinner before checking out Second Saturday offerings, but by the time you’re done with the meal, most galleries are closing their doors? That’s an art opportunity blown. If you must eat, why not dine somewhere with new, local art displayed in the restaurant? For instance, this month you could see Melanie Bown’s work at Formoli’s Bistro in East Sac. An added bonus: If your dining companion is a dud for decent conversation, staring at the art on the walls will be pleasantly diverting company.
