First Friday: Sandy Gillespie exhibit opening

Enjoy the opening of “Translations,” Sandy Gillespie’s solo art exhibition, as well as hors d’oeuvres and the jazz stylings of Katie Strock in Muse. In the exuberant swirls of Sandy Gillespie’s paintings, there aren’t any buried images of mountains or bears. Rather, her massive, abstract oil paintings strive to capture the essence of Alaska, its emotional resonance. Admission is free.
