Our Greeley: First Friday Art Night

Downtown Greeley is a happening place during the summer with Friday Fest happening on the 8th street plaza EVERY Friday! But the first Friday of every month, year 'round is a night where 21 different businesses, churches and art galleries feature the opening of a new art show, usually of a local Greeley artist.

My husband and I found posters and prints of art that we thought looked nice when we first bought our home 10 years ago. They were often art pieces from a place we visited or something that we saw in someone else's home that we liked. There is nothing wrong with those pieces and many of them we still love, but over the last few years our walls have become covered more and more by the art created right here in Greeley. It is so fun to have pieces from someone in your hometown, and to get to know those artists by attending the First Friday shows as well as art fairs.

So if you have never checked out First Friday, come out on September 5th from 5-8 PM. Get yourself a piece of local art, lovingly made right here in Greeley! The list and map of venues can be found here, and a hard copy of the map can be picked up at any of the venues or at the DDA office located at 802 9th Street.
