Friendzgiving (that’s Thanksgiving, Young Republic-style) involves food, glitter and pilgrim hats. Never celebrated Friendz-giving? Don’t worry, no one else has either. Arts group the Young Republic just invented the alternative holiday/crafts fair. Here’s how it works: First, a select group of artists gets together at the Joanna Gallery on November 15. They’ll cook a traditional Thanksgiving dinner (everyone’s been assigned a dish — turkey, cran-berries, the usual). And they’ll have a crafts session, creating turkey hands and the aforementioned pilgrim hats. The whole -cooking-creating process will be recorded. On November 17, the resulting art goes on display (and yes, they’ll be serving leftovers at the exhibit’s opening reception).
Participating artists include Daniel Adame (stuffing), JoAnn Park (mashed potatoes team), Brian Rod (green bean casserole) and Laura White (cranberry sauce). Today’s reception runs 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. 4014 Graustark. Through November 24. For information, call 713-825-1976 or visit www.youngrepublic.org. Free.
