It may not be Ben Stiller and a T-Rex skeleton, but the Phoenix Art Museum is mixing up First Friday with some interesting activities this Friday evening, June 5, 2009.

Located in downtown Phoenix along Central Ave. and the light rail line, the Phoenix Art Museum opens its doors to the public each month as part of the First Friday Art Walk, hosted by ArtLink. From 6-10 p.m., visitors can peruse the museum for free. Voluntary donations are accepted as well.

This month, First Friday visitors can participate in weaving activities from 7 – 9 p.m. Medium-sized looms will be set up at several locations throughout the museum as community looms. Volunteers will be on hand with various materials, not just yarn, that guests can add to the different looms. Visitors interested in creating their own weaving can head to the orientation room to make a small weaving of their choosing or add to the large community loom.

There is no sign-up to participate, just show up! A great activity for art lovers of any age that love to create.
