Since 2003, the galleries, merchants, restaurants, and bars in and around downtown have hosted one of the city’s most popular regular events: First Friday. Art shows, artists’ receptions, live music, free food, wine tastings, and cash bars draw hundreds of people who wander through the central city on foot to explore everything from paintings and handcrafted jewelry to conceptual performances and installations. Here’s a guide to galleries currently participating in the monthly event.
