The human form has been a source of inspiration and exploration for as long as people have been making art. This fascination is stronger than ever, as evidenced by the many figure drawing events held weekly throughout the area, our own Drink and Draw included. We feel like this theme is worth revisiting, and are excited to announce our fourth annual "Figured Out" exhibit! Come see the variety of interpretations of the human body from 30 local artists. From classic technique to more challenging experimental approaches, CoLab encourages you to come celebrate the human form with us this month. And also on this First Friday, we have a live DJ - Jvrgon who will provide some wild Riddim beats! Plus, you can express your human form on our collaborative painting! CoLab also hosts the amazing Five Dollar Sketch Wall- a novel way to build your art collection (even if you're broke) and help support CoLab at the same time, thanks to generous donations from our artists! #raleighgallery #communityart #firstfridayraleigh
