For a more subversive, less drunk-bus-y First Friday than you may be used to getting in Old City, everyone knows by now to head to Fishtown and NoLibs. (Or just the 319 N. 11th St. building. Six galleries in one place!) In a step that further proves itself as the new center of gravity in Philly’s art scene, there are a slew of kinda-new galleries and boutiques officially opening up tonight in Fishtown:
— the gallery Extra Extra, which arts ed Carolyn Huckabay mentioned in her First Friday Focus this week
— the café Bella Sera
— the vintage boutique two percent to glory, whose official opening will be Fri., Dec. 11
— the not-new-in-general, but recently-moved dance academy Philadelphia Argentine Tango School
— the artists’ collective Part-Time Collective
— the artists’ collective Piranha Betty’s Art Market
To celebrate their new neighbors, the New Kensington Community Development Corporation is hosting a holiday walk tonight from 6 to 9 p.m., with all sorts of drinks, art shows, craft shows, sales, DIY decoration workshops, DJs and — aw, gee — hot cocoa. For lots more details, hit up Frankford Ave. Arts Corridor’s Web site.
