Art by Tenley Raithel of Yorktown will be on display during Arts on Main’s July First Friday, to be held from 6-8 p.m. on Friday, July 1, at the gallery on Main Street in Gloucester.

There will also be a display of interpretive floral arrangements from students of the Sogetsu School of the Middle Peninsula, and music will be provided by singer and songwriter Grayson Torrence.

The event is free and open to the public. Beer and wine will be available for purchase.
