About this Event
Join us for the First Fridays ArtWalk SJ on February 6th, 5–9pm, in SoFA District, Historic District and Martha Gardens District! with an evening of art, music, and community.
Explore a self-guided tour through galleries, museums, and creative spaces presenting new exhibitions, live performances, and artist talks—all free and all ages. It’s a great event to meet international & hyper-local artists in person, and experience everything from paintings to tech art, sculpture, textiles, opera, & jazz.
