William Fridrich's 'Road Kill' opening at 621N4TH August 6th

William Fridrich studied visual art, sculpture, and photography at UCLA. He furthered his vocational education through various jobs at west coast-based motorcycle magazines, and a graphical semaphoric stint in the U.S. Army as a combat illustrator. He then launched a successful graphic design career in the early 1970’s beginning with a job at Standard Brands Paint Company. Introduced to the Dada and Surrealist movements by his wife, art historian Marsha McKee, William became clinically obsessed with Marcel Duchamp, Man Ray, and Joseph Cornell. Thankfully, for all of us, he has yet to recover. William's show is built of pieces from his recent past and will be on display at 621N4TH through August. Opening reception will be August 6th at 6:00 p.m. 621N4TH is an artist run gallery, studio and "offspace" located in the heart of Downtown Wilmington's Brooklyn neighborhood.

Michelle Connolly's 'Archetypes' at Caffe Phoenix July 14th

Michelle Connolly's first collection of oils invites the viewer to escape into snapshots of forest creatures and settings from folklore and literature. According to Connolly, "the idea of 'archetypes' to illuminate personality suggests the existence of forms that channel experiences and emotions, resulting in recognizable and typical patterns of behavior with certain probable outcomes." Since moving to their new location, Caffe Phoenix has made exhibiting fine art an even greater priority by installing much improved lighting, ample viewing area, and remains dedicated to promoting local artists with new exhibitions opening monthly. Artist's reception for Michelle Connolly on Wednesday July 14th from 6-9pm at Caffe Phoenix's new location: 35 North Front Street in downtown Wilmington.
