Goodnight Raleigh - a look at the art, architecture, history, and people of the city at night

Flanders Art Gallery at 311 West Martin St.



Flanders Art Gallery was opened with the past First Friday (November 2) and according to their website,

This new exhibit space differs from Flanders Art Gallery, located at 18 Seaboard; on the whole the work may be edgier, more contemporary and experimental with drawings, photography, and other works on paper in a range of styles by innovative emerging artists.

Opening the gallery for the month of November is “Works by Diane Feissel and Sharon Lee Hart.” … Flanders 311 is open Tuesdays through Saturday, 10am-6pm and on First Friday from 10am-9pm. For more information, contact Kelly Flanders McChesney at 919-834-5044 or www.flandersartgallery.com.

The piece seen in the window is Tabula Rasa 2, and is a 30″ x 40″ oil on canvas. You can get a better view on the item’s page at the Flander’s Art Gallery website.

The Last Building on West Martin Street

This building sits at the spot West Martin St ends. I know nothing of its history or former purpose. It’s one of the old Dillon buildings, so I’m guessing it was used used to store or prepare steel products, because it’s so close to the railroad tracks.

Bored on a Saturday night? Tired of the same boring places packed with polos and attitudes? If so, you should visit West Side Stories. I had a load of fun and I plan on going back with the girlfriend sometime in the not too distant future.
