As downtown Phoenix develops, a unique arts and cultural scene is emerging. This scene is fueling much of the development, attracting people to both visit and to move back into the urban core of Phoenix. The arts help us to see what could be, inspire us to dream and act beyond ourselves, and invite us to "act out" of the cultural norms and expectations that hold our imaginations hostage. At the heart of the arts scene in Downtown Phoenix is "First Fridays". First Fridays is an artwalk that spans several downtown neighborhoods and attracts thousands of participants each month. It has grown to become the largest monthly artwalk in the US.
To celebrate and promote these unique art events in downtown, we host an party which is becoming First Friday "HQ" for many. Neighbors, friends, and often strangers converge on the porch of a 1920's bungalow to chat, catch up, and share life. Hospitality rules as everyone brings something to share.
To join us on the porch on a First Friday, contact Zack Newsome or just stop by. (you'll find the details on our facebook page)
