The Pember will be celebrating the fourth year anniversary of First Friday with special event for October. In addition to a Halloween Party and Zombie Walk, First Friday opens the month long show, “Macabre and Halloween Art of Wayne Rizzo — 40 Paintings of the Ghoulish and Grotesque”.
Wayne studied at the Art Students League in New York City and has shown work at most galleries in the area, including Ginofor Gallery, the North Country Art Center, and Saratoga Arts. This is the first time he will be showing at the Pember.
Halloween costumes are encouraged for the event, and Wayne will be on hand to award prizes for best costume in three categories — Best Child Zombie, Best Teen Zombie and Best Adult over-the-Hill-and-into-the-Swamp Zombie.
In addition, there will be self-service make-up stations to get you ghoulish for the 8 PM Zombie Walk over the Mettowee footbridge to the Slate Valley Museum, where there will be a reception. As a special fright treat, “Fear This Productions” will be present and tuning up their terror engine at the Zombie Walk in preparation for the big Haunted House at the Historic Courthouse in Salem, NY on October 10th & 11th, 17th & 18th, 24th & 25th.
The event is free, and all ages are invited!
