Two Galleries open separate summer shows in the same building Friday, so you can hit both without having to re-park your car.
5art presents a group exhibit of diverse works by these local artists: Alex Costantino, Brian Goe, Lauren Alyssa Howard, Vincent Kral, Wes Kline, Sonya McAllister, Justin Nelson, James Reiman, Rebecca Skelton and Christopher Weeks.
At the same time, three04 gallery presents "Clenched Tight in the Maw of the Great Ancient Ennui: New Works by Allen Hampton." The new works include a variety of two- and three-dimensional art from traditional to the not-so-traditional in oil paintings, drawings, sculpture, video and one installation piece.
Both exhibits continue through July 10 with gallery hours only by appointment after the opening reception from 7 to 10 p.m. Friday . It is free, but donations are welcome.
The two galleries are among other art galleries, studios and other businesses in the old Santaella Cigar Factory at 1906 N. Armenia Ave. For information, visit www.five-art.com or call (813) 340-9056.
