The Pueblo Creative Corridor's First Friday Art Walk festivities begin at 5 p.m., as the community revels in the Second Year Anniversary Celebration of the Pueblo Creative Corridor, a Colorado Certified Creative District.
Tonight also culminates the weeklong series of events, "Come Celebrate Pueblo: Where History, Culture and the Arts Empower Discovery. The Future is Pueblo." So come visit the more than 35 art galleries, restaurants and businesses in the Creative Corridor. Ride the VanGO Art Shuttle for free, convenient traveling around the Creative Corridor loop with step-on, step-off service at 13 favorite locations.
First Friday Art Walk activities are free.
Pueblo's First Friday Art Walk continues to provide more than paintings, photography, fiber arts, sculpture, glass and pottery. Many of the Creative Corridor's art galleries and cozy shops have special demonstrations of "live art activities." There will be new shows, refreshments, live music and entertainment. Visitors can create their own walking art tour of a variety of locations by starting at one gallery, picking up a free Creative Corridor Explorer's Guide, and traveling on to another destination after mingling with the artists. The free guide is available in galleries and participating businesses and includes a plan of activities and a map. More information can be found at PuebloArts.org or follow on www.facebook.com/PuebloArts.
