Roosevelt Row was hot and quiet during May’s Third Friday artwalk

High temps and low foot traffic didn't keep local artists from displaying some excellent work.

The Third Friday artwalk on Roosevelt Row is always significantly less attended than its First Friday counterpart, and the event on May 17 was no exception.

Though there weren’t many vendors or pedestrians, the downtown galleries were full of art to see and artists to meet.

We stopped by Modified Arts and Eye Lounge to check out the latest exhibitions.

Here’s what we saw.
