LIVE First Fridays returned to downtown Salina on Friday, April 9. The event opened with local artists The Sam Club Band and Cary Brinegars showcasing their talents to the community.
Brinegars showcased his Silly Line Drawings at Peaceful Body Wellness Retreat downtown.
"I started doing these lines because my wife was in her cancer fight, so we'd sit a lot and watch television," Brinegars said. "I started doing lines on a scrap piece of paper she was cutting off of an art project. Then it evolved into doing full sheets."
