Join us this Thursday, December 3rd from 6 -9PM for a holiday-themed block party on Main Street. The event will feature the works of various visual and performing artists, and Villa Tronco, the White Mule and other local vendors will be on hand for food and drink. The Nick will be projecting holiday images on the outside wall of the old Silver’s building, and while most of the action will be on the 1500 block, which will be closed to traffic, we’ll be featuring an art exhibit at the Fox, too!
Mingle & Jingle on Main is a continuation of Frame of Mind’s Art Series held the first Thursday of every month. The event is a holiday themed block party that will include various visual and performing artists including artists Jean Bourque, Virginia Scotchie, Stephanie Britt, Eileen Blyth, Howard Hunt and the Village Artists, and many more.
The old Silver’s building will feature the works of Dre Lopez, Sammy Lopez, Nikolai Oskolkov and Kirill Simin with a performance by dancer Sherry Warren and music being spun all evening by DJ GLDFNGR.
The Nick will be projecting seasonal images on the outside wall of the old Silver’s building, and we’ll have an exhibit featuring the work of seven different artists in our future home, the Fox theater. The exhibit will run through Sunday (Friday and Saturday, 10-4 and Sunday 1-4). Free Times will have a taste of Delirium Tribal and Columbia Alternacirque. Mac’s on Main, Villa Tronco, and The Whig will be on hand for food and drink.
There will also be a sneak peek of Crafty Feast that is being held on December 12th. Carolers and music will be on the street while Sonny D and friends (w/ the Palmetto Swing Dancers) will be inside Gotham Bagel. Several of the featured downtown retailers (such as the Museum Shop and Capitol Places) and restaurants will be extending their hours for the event.
And as an added bonus, you will have a chance to meet and greet with some of the cast and crew from Dog Days (a local film directed and produced by Kirk Bair). Don’t miss the opportunity to support our own as they push to make Columbia a shining star in the independent film industry.
