First Friday

ART GALLERY OPENINGS

In cities such as Honolulu, Phoenix ; Richmond ; Philadelphia ; Raleigh, North Carolina ; San Antonio, Texas ; Kansas City, Missouri ; Louisville, Kentucky ; Augusta, Georgia ; Tallahassee, Florida , Las Vegas, Nevada , and Denver there are Gallery Hop s and " Art Walk s" where many of the Art Galleries in town will have Gallery Opening s and open their doors to anyone who wishes to see works in progress. The idea is that galleries will attract people to the downtown and enrich the art community by pooling their openings together into one monthly evening. Additionally, these are "see and be seen" events that serve as a Block Party or social gathering open to the general public. These events are not limited to art, and may involve other stores such as cafes and restaurants remaining open as well as including other events such as Fire Twirling acts, Belly Dancing , street musicians and other performers, and Pub Crawl ing.
