The New Mexico Tea Company (www.nmteaco.com) on 12th and Mountain in Albuquerque is hosting a Fourth of July open house at the shop all day this Friday, with free iced tea and watermelon to anyone who stops by.

The New Mexico Tea Company is showing a series of my monotypes, entitled "Flight", along with work by photographer P.D. Rearick, who is also in the "Photo New Mexico" exhibit at Matrix Fine Art (http://matrixfineart.com), which opens on July 5th.

The First Friday Artscrawl, a citywide art tour in Albuquerque, is also not to be missed this 4th of July (http://www.artscrawlabq.org/html/current_first_friday.html).

There's a lot happening in Albuquerque this weekend, so get out there and enjoy!
