It’s back! Returning for 2019 - First Friday Face Off. Our final competing artist is Ali @antchrist9. When asked about her style of art: “Ali is an ink/acrylic artist whose art imitates reality, accidentally. Her art attempts to be funny, but most of the time it's just surreal and at worst dread-inducing. She never really started producing art - the art used her as a tool to manipulate the masses. Ali cites her major influences as the wasteland of rural America and irreverent behavior.” Come out and support the Fredericksburg art scene Friday, February 1st 6-10pm! . . . #firstfriday #firstfridayfaceoff #localart #supportlocalartists #fxbgartists #fxbgartscene #funnynotfunny #dreadinducing #wasteland #ruralamerica #surrealism (at Katora Coffee) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtKzIOJgD6B/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=10o6kn3f2cle6

It’s back! Returning for 2019 - First Friday Face Off. Our first competing artist is Meaghan @sp0o0ky_unicorn When asked what art means to her: “Art is an expression of life... my limbo between life and death, that place somewhere between good vs. evil. It has no morale or rules. It allows ultimate expression where we find ourselves in worst scenarios and unlimited possibilities. It is a guarded place for me to act out, to rely on magic, and pour out all the broken pieces of me.” Come out and support the Fredericksburg art scene Friday, February 1st 6-10pm! . . . #firstfriday #firstfridayfaceoff #localart #supportlocalartists #fxbgartscene #fxbgartists #mentalhealth #lifeanddeath #dowhatyoulove #expression #goodvsevil (at Katora Coffee) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtKvKS5AQFW/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1x9tnfjfiymxy

October 2018 #firstfridayfaceoff is in the books and we have a winner!!!! @michellepierson came and reigns supreme over the words (Needle Fear Trail) These events are unique and exciting for both us and the participants. We appreciate and applaud all who have braved the unknown and put their #artistic chops on the table. We can’t thank everyone that has made this a reality enough! So be on the lookout for Michelle’s work to adorn our back wall later this week! #namaslay #artbattle #lovefxbg #fxbgartist #fxbgarts #katoralife #katoraart #katoracoffee #katora #thirdwavecoffee Thank you @iriseschris for sharing this night with us and your amazing talent as well...

It’s that time of the month again.... ART BATTLE shall commence tonight in the form of #firstfridayfaceoff Let the talent reign supreme within our walls. We strive to support the local art community through many different methods and one of the most unique ways is our series First Friday Face Off where two artists come together to paint live in the #upstairslounge with no prior knowledge of the theme and only four hours to do it!! What makes it even more interesting is the fact that YOU get to decide who wins the battle. It costs $5 to vote and voting begins at 6pm tonight and ends at 12pm tomorrow so don’t feel left out if you can’t make it this evening. Proceeds are split with the artists so they don’t go broke dueling over the chance to win a monthly gallery showing on our back wall. It’s a win win for everyone. First Friday will never be the same!!! Let the games begin 6pm sharp at #Katoracoffee #lovefxbg #katoralife #localart #battle #vs #artistsoninstagram (at Katora Coffee) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnbZ17JFr4x/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=hrad6peov59i

Tonight is #firstfridayfaceoff if you don’t know the drill? Well here is the low down.. Two Artists have 4 hours to paint #liveart using their own medium and our canvases. We provide the theme (3 random words). You the #community get to vote ($5) which gets split between the #starvingartists so they aren’t out any money for the supplies and whomever wins gets the back wall of the shop for the next month #gallerywall #localart #localartist #fxbg #lovefxbg #fxbgartists #katoraart #katoralife #katorafamily #katoracoffee #firstfriday #fxbgdntn (at Katora Coffee)
