New events planned for tonight's Art Stroll

Artist Sheri Friedman (left) will be opening the doors of Blu Moon Studio (3444 Main Highway, very top floor) this Saturday as part of the Coconut Grove First Saturday Art Stroll/Gallery Walk.

Share some wine and conversation, and take a tour of the studio. Sheri will have her original work as well as prints on display throughout the space, which is her working studio as well as where she teaches her popular classes. All visitors will receive a coupon for a free class.

Then, stop by the Nomade Gallery (3133 Commodore Plaza) where Artist Pierre Traversat will be creating a sculpture from the trunk of a palm tree from 7 to 11 pm, using chainsaws and other wild tools to create the wooden sculpture.

Pierre will also be introducing a new collection of paintings called "Lincoln Road" and a series of sculptures called "Les Filles de Christian Lacroix."

Artist Aida Tejada will be presenting her new photography collection "Reflections," as well.

The Art Stroll/Gallery Walk extends from the Mayfair Promenade, down Grand Avenue, to Main Highway and to Commodore Plaza. It's a great night to stroll the Grove and see what's new in the art galleries. GroveHouse, Windisch-Hunt, Christina Chacon, all have something special going on.
