Having made it through the cold December rituals of logs and grogs, the January of 2023 politely suggests we turn our attention to it and venture out to exhibition openings and shows. This Friday is FIRST FRIDAY, and since the weather should be tolerable, this would be an excellent chance to get out and see what’s new.
