new Eric Firestone Gallery opening Nov. 6

Thursday, November 5th, 2009

The new Eric Firestone Gallery Exhibition and Event Space will officially open near downtown Tucson with a grand opening tomorrow Friday, November 6th from 6:00 p.m. to 12:00 midnight.
Live music by African Soul, and Blackwood and Company will be featured.

“Located in Tucson’s Historic Warehouse Arts District at 403 North 6th Avenue on the northwest corner of 6th Avenue and 7th Street the new Eric Firestone Gallery – Exhibition Space will feature exhibitions of historic and contemporary art and design as well as hosting related performances and events”.

This new Exhibition and Event Space is housed in the newly renovated Old Market Inn building which was originally constructed in 1880. My husband and I dropped by for a recent informal tour, and were pleasantly surprised by the charming exposed brick, large glass windows, and remnants of the old market posters still plastered on the walls in this huge (9,000 sq.ft) gallery space on 6th Avenue, north of the underpass from downtown.
