First Friday Art Walk returns downtown. And, as part of the festivities this month, The Raw Canvas Tattoo Studio & Art Gallery will host a members show on Friday, April 4. The free show starts at 6 p.m. at 507 Main St., in Grand Junction.

Artists include Bennett Art Studio, Jerry Clyfford, Matthew Haberkorn, Chaz Emmons and Pat Lewis. All art is for sale.

Quarterly shows at the Raw Canvas often are centered around a theme.



“This is the one show that we do where the artists choose their own work to be displayed,” Raw Canvas gallery manager Wendy Gill said.

Also set to perform is a husband-wife duo called You Knew Me When. They play indie rock and folk-style music.



Bin 707 will serve appetizers.
