Mural in Progress

I promise that this is the last piece about Insight Coffee for awhile but there is just too much juicy stuff going on at 8th and S that I can't resist. Today there is a mural painting in progress. Artist Andrew Terrell, who has the exhibit inside Insight couldn't stop there. His work is now outside, as well. 

He's had some helpers in this hot weather. Hope they go to Southside Park Pool to cool off after their stint on the scaffolding.

The Caffeine Must Be Working

The guys at Insight Coffee at 8th and S Streets must be drinking their own product. They have been very productive! First I noticed this great new outdoor seating area.

And inside they hung the best exhibit I've seen there yet. Artist Andrew Terrell grew up in the area but he's not staying here long. When you see his work I am sure you will agree that he is going places. And he is, actually, to Portland, Oregon. So go see this show before it comes down on August 8th. There is a lot to engage your eye and your imagination. Take a friend and go sit at the new outdoor tables to discuss.

ART: Alive and Well

Southside Park certainly did not suspend activity when I was out of town for three weeks!

When I left I was sad that we had recently lost not one, but THREE art galleries in our neighborhood. One that folded was downstairs from the working artist's studios at ARTHOUSE, 1021 R Street.  When I came home imagine my happy surprise to see that 1021 R Street not only had this new awning...

...but also a NEW gallery inside! Adamson Gallery shares this cool space with... 

...photographer Robin Hagy.

Add these places to your monthly art walk and see for yourself that the art energy in Southside Park is indefatigable!
