February's #FirstFriday starts off early over at the Institute of Contemporary Art/Boston. This evening's ICA #FirstFriday theme, Nordic Night, dedicates itself to reminding us that it's much colder somewhere else with with tours of Icelandic artist Ragnar Kjartansson's exhibition Song, Scandinavian pop music and a signature cocktail, the Polar Bear. The event goes from 5-10pm. The Museum of Fine Arts Boston also hosts its MFA First Friday event tonight from 6:00-9:30pm, featuring DJ Denise LaCarubba. Tickets available online through their website or in person at the museum. Both events are 21+.
As always, the SOWA District art galleries (450 Harrison Street in the South End) will be open with new and continuing shows from 5:00pm-8pm. SOWA galleries and artists’ studios are FREE and open to the public of all ages. Also, at the Boston Center for the Arts' Mills Gallery, an artist and curator talk will mark their closing reception for the current exhibition Process Goes Public: BCA Artist Studios Building Exhibition from 6-8pm.
Some of the Big Red & Shiny team will be out on the town tonight. Look out for the #FirstFriday hashtag. Say hello!
