Gabriel Marquez knows that with all the great art in the Borderland, there s no reason to only celebrate it once a month.
This week he s launching First Friday as a counterpart bookend to Last Thursdays, the monthly event that unites galleries in highlighting artists.
Marquez, one of the artists from the Casa Ortiz art gallery at 10167 Socorro Road in Socorro, said his goal was “just to offer another venue for art lovers and other creative people just to kind of come together and create a space where we can all share our creativity cause throughout the day to day, a lot of people are kind of focusing on the negative. But we can also just kind of let loose and explore other ideas that other people have as far as their artwork.”
