Thousands of people head downtown every First Friday for an evening of vendors, music, food trucks, art and people-watching.

But for a far less crowded excursion, we hit the galleries on Roosevelt Row and Grand Avenue on March 15 during Third Friday gallery hours.

Here’s what we saw.

“Secret Society” by Ann Morton, part of “Modified Arts: A 25th Anniversary Group Invitational.” Note the cockroach pattern on the upholstery.
