It’s a busy month on Frankford Avenue.  Hot on the tail of Bella Sera’s grand opening comes Extra Extra, self described as an “artist-run space dedicated to the exposure of under-represented artists challenging the limits of the visual and performing arts”, is warming up for its first event this weekend.

Tucked away just yards from Frankford Avenue, the gallery at 2222 Sepviva Street will follow up First Friday this month with its November 6th performance by musicians Young Ice and Hopalong.  Additionally, an interactive artistic activity sponsored by the  ”Spatial Awareness Club” will occupy the main gallery area, as visitors get a chance to leave their mark on a 1996 Geo Track parcel map depicting the Kensington area.  These drab blueprints of underground utilities must be colorized, and only the good people of Fishtown can make that happen!  Stop by and color by numbers while listening to some aspiring local performers.

Extra Extra will return next month for a First Friday reception, and the opening of a second floor featuring “artist’s books, zines, prints, photographs, drawings and other print ephemera” by the collective of artists and friends who curate Extra Extra.
