Every first Friday of each month from 6 to 10 p.m., take a self-guided tour of downtown Phoenix galleries, studios and art spaces during a reoccurring event called “First Fridays.” First Fridays is promoted by Artlink Phoenix, a local, nonprofit organization dedicated to bringing together artists, the public, and businesses for a greater understanding, appreciation, and promotion of the arts and the development of a strong and vital downtown Phoenix arts community. First Fridays offers a variety of artistic things to see, hear and experience.
