Virtual First Friday #2: MAY DAY, MAY DAY!

Jeffrey Moose Gallery on Bainbridge Island is proud to announce the second Virtual First Friday, scheduled for this Friday, May 1st, beginning at 6 PM

As we can’t physically join together on Winslow Way on a beautiful spring evening, Jeffrey Moose has spearheaded the second Virtual First Friday Art Walk, using relatively simple on-line tools: a cell phone, a tablet or a laptop. Through Facebook, the four participating businesses will, one at a time, stream live video from their venues, ending with a special treat: a drum solo by Jeffrey.

*Please note: you must have a Facebook account to view the shows – to view, click the time/name of each venue below (embedded with a hyperlink).

Each show will be approximately fifteen-minutes, with a five-minute break in-between, allowing the viewer time to refresh their beverage of choice and redirect their browser to the next venue’s FB page.
