Take the Shuttle
From your Phoenix apartment, head down to the Phoenix Art Museum on North Central Avenue. You can park here for free and jump on the shuttle.

What You’ll See
Print a First Friday map from Artlink and plan a route for your art gallery tour. Along the way, you can check out exhibits at interesting studios, galleries, and museums.

What You’ll Hear
Live music is also a First Friday staple. Featured outside some galleries are bands, soloists and more. Stop in the restaurants, cafes or coffeeshops along the way and enjoy your brew when you pause to listen to the sidewalk musicians.

First Fridays For Kids
Vendors along the streets of downtown Phoenix will have fun keepsakes, jewelry, and souvenirs your kids will love. But, at some venues and studios, there are hands on art activities especially for children. So, if your First Friday Art Walk includes the little ones, plan on an art walk kids detour.

Nothing to do on a Friday? No cash to spare for a night out? The First Friday Art Walk has you covered. Check it out from 6-9pm every month of the year and even on holidays.
