come down to old city for first fridays specially in the evening and the streets are fill with art lovers of all kinds who wander among the neighborhood's 40-plus galleries.......most of them are open from 5 until 9pm and the best part is admission is free!

most galleries can be found between front and third, and market and vine streets.....

History

Started in 1991 by a group of galleries as a collaborative open house evening, First Fridays grew quickly into one of Philly’s most vital, signature cultural events. Old City’s historic commercial buildings have fostered a SoHo-like cultural ambience with the densest network of galleries in the city.

Some of the arts organizations you can visit on First Fridays include the Clay Studio; the Temple Gallery; the cooperative galleries Nexus, Highwire, Muse and Third Street Gallery; and collaborative Space 1026.
