First Friday, July 6...art of John Bell, Holland Zander's iPod playlist revealed, and Dennis Horton hosts the Gallery Bar


     Hope your enjoying this hot 4th of July holiday week. And this year, First Friday downtown (July 6th) is right in the middle of all the celebrating. We will be open in the store until at least 9pm and, of course, the Kortman Gallery Bar will be open even later with Dennis Horton serving up some refreshing beverages along with Summer fun.
      You listen to her fantastic music as one of Rockford's hottest performers...now you can listen to what Holland listens to on her iPod. Yes, Holland Zander's unedited iPod playlist will be the featured music upstairs in the Gallery Bar played through the coolest sound system from hear.more.music.
       Plus, you won't want to miss "always hungry"...an exhibition of new works by John Bell.
      So, stop by before or after the City Market or enjoying dinner in one downtown's great restaurants. We're right on the trolley route, so we're easy to get to no matter where you begin your First Friday evening. Have a cool & refreshing holiday week with J. R. Kortman Center for Design.
