December's
First Friday ArtWalk will meander through downtown's
impressive array of gallery exhibits. The tour will meet
at brand-new DIVA (Downtown Initiative for the Visual
Arts) and make its way through New Zone Artists Collective,
Scan Design, Karin Clarke Gallery and White Lotus Gallery.
Several other downtown galleries will also be open during
the tour. Pictured is the oil painting Still Life
by Eric Reinemann, at Karin Clarke Gallery. See Friday
Calendar.
Watch
out! Eric Idle is on the loose, and he is bringing
his "Greedy Bastard Tour" to Eugene. The comedian/actor/writer/singer
is known for his Monty Python appearances, but
he has also been immersed in an overwhelming number of
other projects over the years, including co-writing a
Broadway musical, releasing a comedy album, The Rutland
Isles, and directing a TV version of his previous
tour, "Eric Idle Exploits Monty Python." Idle is a comic
force to be reckoned with, and he will bring gales of
laugher to the Hult Center this week. See Friday Calendar.
The
Downtown Library will ring in the holidays with class
this Saturday, with its Fourth Annual Authors &
Artists Fair. The decadent festivities will include
art and book browsing, book signing, wine, a sumptuous
dessert, and conversation with attending authors and artists.
Elegant holiday music will provide a fitting backdrop
for the celebration. Authors available for book signing
will include award-winning writers Molly Gloss,
Lauren Kessler, Joseph Miller and many more. Best of all,
admission is free, and a portion of the evening's proceeds
from book sales and desserts will benefit the Eugene Public
Library. See Saturday Calendar.
