The First Friday ArtWalk is a time when galleries Downtown throw open their doors to showcase new exhibits, often coinciding with free opening receptions. But it’s not just art: enjoy Downtown’s eclectic mix of restaurants and shops along your stroll. Take a self-guided walking tour around Downtown, or catch a FREE ride on the Emerald Express Trolley. The trolley will be running during the ArtWalk, from 5:00pm - 8:00pm. There are more than a dozen stops throughout the Downtown district and in front of participating businesses. Enjoy amazing artwork, live music, delicious food, and local beer.
