It is a monthly gallery walk in the Art
District on the first calendar Friday of
each month, without deviation due to
holidays or otherwise. Over 40 art
galleries, artist studios and other
creative organizations are open until
about 9:30PM that night. Some stay open
later, some close a bit sooner, but all
are closed by about 10:30pm. First Friday
is hugely popular and can have up to 7,000
art lovers attending. It is wonderful
anytime that many people come out to see
art! Come early, 5:00-7:30pm, if you want
more "private time" with the art. After
about 8:00pm it can get crowded on the
sidewalks and in the galleries, but is an
upbeat people watchers' delight!
