First Fridays Art Walk

First Fridays Art Walk Best place to be the 1st Friday of the month? Art Walk in Oldtown - where the streets are alive aft Between 1500-3000 people attend the Art Walk every month.

In the Fall of 2004, a group of local artists and musicians began planing the premiere 1st Fridays Art Walk in Salinas. Tired of hearing the lament: "There's nothing to do in Salinas", founding Art Walk director, Trish Triumpho Sullivan responded "Let's MAKE something to do!" That can-do attitude and willingness to create positive change gave birth to the first Art Walk in September of 2005 - with

15 participating venues, 10 art exhibits, and 6 live musical groups performing, that first event boasted over 300 attendees. Since then the 1st Fridays Art Walk in downtown Salinas has been running every month, year-round, rain or shine, no matter what, the event goes on. Currently the Art Walk has over 40 venues and usually 15+ art exhibits, 20 venues hosting live local music, and often includes dance performances, book signings, poetry readings, kid's creation stations, artist booths, and more. 1st Fridays remains free to the public and everyone involved is a volunteer. It's easy to get involved - simply come out to downtown Salinas on the first Friday of the month between 5pm-8pm to enjoy an evening of arts and music with the family! Support the Art Walk by making a donation, or join in to show your art, perform music, dance, poetry - even have a book signing! You can volunteer to learn about curating art, hanging exhibits, event planning and more - it's great experience!

Dear Parents - don't buy your child a gun.
Buy the kid a guitar.
They won't kill anyone, and might actually form lifetime friendships.
