YouTube

If you aren't familiar with First Friday, it's a cultural art walk event hat goes on the first Friday of each month, as the name suggests. It takes place from 6 pm to 10 pm on the streets of the fantastic, Downtown Phoenix. This event is one of the biggest events in the country and is remarkable at displaying local art to the community.

If this is your first time attending this event you can go straight to the Phoenix art museum, there you can meet an ArtLink volunteer that can help guide you and answer questions. Tip: Ask for a map that will help you navigate through the event

If you admire and love promoting local art, this event is for you!

It is suggested to wear something comfortable and bring a water bottle because it will get hot.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out.
