With temperatures rising, it almost felt like spring last Friday while I roamed around Old City, taking in several First Friday shows. My first stop was Sound and Silence at Artist’s House, which runs through March 27. The show is a beautiful, varied collection of works – mostly oil paintings, but also sculptures and lithographs – by more than two-dozen artists. The title says it all: many of the works depict contemplative subject matter, but there’s also some noise.
