Greetings!
 A New Year, a new First Friday Art Walk! As the stressful, wonderful holiday season fades away, First Friday invites you to enjoy a cozy little Art Walk 6-10 p.m. Jan. 4.
The January Art Walk is always a smaller, more intimate affair as several of our members take time off for family, venue maintenance or the collegiate Winter Break. Rest assured, there's still plenty of live art, live music, fun, fellowship and more in our 19 gallery and sponsor venues! Also, be sure to pick up a copy of the brand new Winter 2013 First Friday Art Walk Gallery Guide, available at all official Art Walk venues!
