The First Friday Art Crawl in Downtown Westerly
The First Friday Art Crawl in Downtown Westerly brings together local artists, galleries, artist studios, creative spaces and more throughout downtown Westerly’s arts district on the first Friday of every month. Typically from 5 p.m. until 8 p.m. and often later, visitors can stroll between galleries, artists studios and creative spaces to experience all Westerly (and spilling over into Pawcatuck) has to offer.
Visitors can enjoy painters, photographers, sculptors, ceramicists, jewelry makers, graphic designers, illustrators, mixed media and many other types of artists and art forms during the First Friday Art Crawl. One of Downtown Westerly’s main attractions, the evening Art Crawl allows visitors to stroll between participating locations while meeting artists, viewing new work and enjoying the creativity that flourishes in downtown Westerly. Many of these locations are galleries, artist studios, restaurants and community spaces that open their doors for guests to enjoy art, conversation and yummy food while supporting local creatives.
Art enthusiasts, date night seekers, families, and more enjoy the First Friday Art Crawl. Beginning as a simple art stroll downtown in the early 2000’s, the First Friday Art Crawl has developed into a monthly celebration of local artists and businesses that continues to thrive. Check out which venues are participating and see the most current crawl map prior to attending, as it may change monthly.
