First Friday in the Crossroads (and its wings)

This list is long, so my comments are short:
This list is not comprehensive, but it does have some items not mentioned in the Pitch gallery guide (which I helped compile for March), due to deadlines and other factors. It also does not have some shows that Alice Thorson listed in her Kansas City Star First Friday feature.
Yesterday it was 70 degrees; today, it is snowing. Don't let that stop you from going out tonight. There is a lot of very good work to see.
That is all : )
