December is a month of photography in New Orleans. Lots of places will be participating, including the Ogden Museum of Southern Art, the Contemporary Arts Center and us! A schedule can be seen here.

We are lucky to be showing work by Louviere + Vanessa, Jennifer Shaw and Jean Laughton. All have beautiful websites, so instead of posting a lot now about each, I encourage you to visit their spaces. Later, I’ll try to make individual posts for all three.

The opening reception will be here on Friday, December 8 from 6 p.m.- 9 p.m.

Our event mistakenly got listed in the Gambit as happening this Friday, so we will be here during those hours just in case, but the official opening isn’t until next week, so that is the best day to come by! Hope to see you then!

We’ve refined the plan for our first group show.

Adam will be participating in the Marigny Bywater Open Studios event on Oct. 7th and 8th, so you will be able to preview the show and check out his studio on those days between noon and 5:00 p.m.

Adam is fond of modifing his own tools and using found parts.

This does something…and I think he found it.

I know he put this together…but really, he’s the one around here who knows all this, so you should come by and find out from him what all this stuff does and where it came from. I’ve only had one welding lesson, so what do I know about it? Come to the Open Studio.

And then on Saturday Oct. 14th from 6-9 p.m., you’re invited to the artists reception for our All Star Group Show. There will be drink and probably food…I’ve even heard that Gina Phillips will play her guitar out back in our tiny yard. And art! There will definately be lots of art.

I’ll be sending an email about it to those of you on our mailing list, and making a more official post soon. If you want to be on our mailing list, email us at farringtonsmithgallery@gmail.com.

I suppose he’s our mascot.

Here he is in front of the desk that Adam and Scott made. So, Bywater Art Market was fun…we’ll do it again before the holidays, but not sure when. I’ll definately post sooner about it the next time we participate.

We may host the next New Orleans Geek Dinner, wherein bloggers and other computer-types mingle and pot-luck-it…I need to contact Alan G. to see what’s up with that. I’ve been a little shy, honestly, about mixing with other local bloggers because ours is about art and theirs tend to be more current-events oriented, but I’m gonna go ahead and jump in.

Adam has some pieces including Steamboat Sally and On The Delta in a group show opening in Brooklyn soon. It’s called Surge: New Orleans On High Ground, and is at the Brooklyn Lyceum in cooperation with New Orleans’ 3 Ring Circus Productions. Hope people up there enjoy getting a little NOLA flava.

Lastly, Adam is curating a group show to open in conjunction with Art for Art’s Sake on October 7. Our festivities will be during the day, when Adam also participates in the Marigny and Bywater Open Studio event. It just so happens that our mammas will be visiting together then, as well, so it’ll be a very busy and fun weekend for us! More information about the first Farrington Smith Gallery group show to come!

Tomorrow- and every Saturday from now on- we will be open from 10-5.

I don’t think we’ll have our new street numbers up by the morning, but it’s 2514 St. Claude Ave. and easy to find. Here’s what you’re looking for:

Note Scott’s dog Rufus looking longingly out the door at us! Aww.

The gallery is just before you hit Franklin St. Ave. We hope to see ya tomorrow or soon. Oh, and if you can’t come on a Saturday, give us a call to make an appointment.
