Galleries open doors for First Fridays From IDS reports
Bulldogs 33-18, including a 17run game that featured a 6-for-6 showing at the plate from Bannon
Various new exhibits throughout Bloomington will be open to the public Friday for the First Fridays Gallery Walk. All the exhibits will open at 5 p.m. The event goes until 8 p.m., and will feature a variety of artists and types of works. One of the exhibits is “SIDEJABS” by Mr. Lee, which is on display at gallery406. “SIDE-JABS is a personal love story about my inner struggles and self-doubt,” Mr. Lee said in a Gallery Walk press release. “These paintings will display the duality of my consciousness and the knowledge of my selfishness to obtain what I desire. With today’s world and the access to obtain everything we want with a click of a mouse, is taking those sacrifices even worth it? Where will this lead?” Another exhibit is “Cut it Short” at the Pictura Gallery. It is a photographic series by Michal Solarski and Tomasz Liboska and looks at two young boys growing up in a town on the southern edge of Poland. Another exhibit at the Pictura Gallery is “I69: Section 4. The Architecture of Highway,” which is a series of photographs by Michael Finger that documents the completed section of I69 and the rural landscape.

home runs, the Musketeers have four batters hitting above .280 and have averaged 7.1 runs per game in their last seven games.
