Visual arts communities across the country, from Louisville, Ky., to Portland, Ore., know there's strength in numbers. Galleries in big cities and small towns throw open their doors on a common evening, inviting patrons to drop by for a quick look or a leisurely visit. It's convenient for patrons, creates a nice stir in the arts community and brings established and new viewers into the galleries.

Thanks to some committed organizers from the Delavan Art Gallery (Director Bill Delavan and Gallery Coordinator Courtney Rile) and the Everson Museum of Art (Development Director Helen Dewey and communi- cations associate Sarah Tiedemann), Syracuse now hosts a similar citywide arts open, known as Th3, 5 to 8 p.m. each third Thursday of the month, with the exceptions of January, July, August and December.

Fifteen galleries sprawling between Syracuse University and the Delavan Art Gallery participate in Th3; but it's definitely a work in progress, as I recently found out by taking in a brief sampling of the March rendition.
