Description

This event, which celebrates its10 year anniversary in October, is a community gathering where all are welcomed and encouraged to appreciate the arts in Las Vegas. You’ll find a plethora of visual and performing arts, live music, food, and people. The event provides local artists with a platform to share their work, to sell their products and make a living, and to connect with other like-minded people in a common space. Many Las Vegas artists got their start at First Friday and many local businesses depend on this day every month. There is no better example of culture and community in Las Vegas than First Friday.
First Friday Foundation is a separate non-profit entity which will help to continue the success of the monthly First Friday event and will increase the impact with ongoing programs that integrate local artists with the community around them, inspire civic art, and promote creativity in Las Vegas every day of the month.
