ARTISTS, Now that the weather has warmed up Saugerties' First Fridays are the perfect time for POP-UP galleries. Make good use of an empty storefront or existing business -- thrift store, beauty salon, or bike shop-- and install some of your work, or a friend's, for the nightbuy a few bottles of wine and throw open the doors. You supply the work and the wine and we'll send in the crowds. Fresh and unexpected, it's a vibrant and inexpensive way to get some work out there that you think deserves attention. A little chutzpah, some elbow grease, a few friends to help out and you've got a show. Make it a surprise, or let us know and we'll help get the word out...either way on First Friday you're guaranteed an audience. Kinda perfect.
