Several of the artists that helped found the Fayetteville Underground have split off to start their own collective called Fenix Fayetteville, and that group will be kicking off their holiday art sale Friday Night at the building formerly home to Beaver Electric (208 N. Block). The Friday event requires a ticket, and will include live music, live painting, and other festivities, and the sale continues through Dec. 18. There’s more info on Facebook.

There’s some good music to check out Friday night as well. Locals Silvershakers and Brick Fields will kick off the weekend with a happy hour show at George’s.

Legendary songwriter and performer Art Garfunkel is in town for a show at the Walton Arts Center Friday night. Tickets start at $35, and are on sale here.
