What's a First Friday?
First Friday Art Walks have returned! First Friday is an event that we have every ~you guessed it~ First Friday of the month. This evening is a free event open to the public, and kid-friendly. You can come and go as you please, enjoying music, food trucks, and all the artwork from local artists.
​
​
Don't forget to stop and talk to our studio artists! We have 20+ talented studio artists here, who enjoy displaying their art and showing others the talent that Amarillo has!
​
We also have a large public gallery displayed throughout the building that is changed out monthly. This artwork comes from 60+ local artists in the area, and each month there is something new to see.
​
Public shows are open to all artists. Information on upcoming shows, submission dates and more are emailed out to anyone who has applied to the public gallery. If you are interested in having your artwork in the public gallery, and getting emails for upcoming shows click here!
