First Friday is still 6 to 9 PM in Downtown Odessa, and October is shaping up to be a beautiful one. 🍁
Wander downtown for an evening of live music, local art, and good company. Step into our venues, meet the artists, and see what your neighbors have been making. ✨
🌟SPECIAL GUESTS THIS MONTH 🌟
🎢 The Permian Basin Opera takes the stage at The Copper Key Gallery from 7 to 8 PM, performing selections from their upcoming production. Come hear these voices up close in one of downtown's most intimate gallery spaces on the corner of 5th & Grant.
πŸ“– The West Texas Symphony hosts a family book reading and giveaway at the Downtown Venue from 7 to 8 PM. Bring the kids for a story, a little music magic, and something special to take home.
🎟️ THE FIRST FRIDAY RAFFLE IS BACK! Grab a First Friday map and flip it over. Every artist signature you collect on the back earns you one entry into the First Friday raffle. Don't forget to bring your collected signature card to the Odessa Arts office at 115 West 6th St (just off Grant Ave) before 9pm to secure your enteries. The more artists you meet, the better your chances!
