As autumn approaches and the weather cools down, everyone is more inclined to venture out into the calm night air. Fortunately First Fridays Art Walk yields even more reason to step out.
This Friday, join Curated Culture as they embark on their 8th Season of First Fridays Art Walk and help 1708 Gallery celebrate its 30th Anniversary and welcome the first InLight RICHMOND project to the city.
Enjoy the seasonal transition with live entertainment in the form of music, dance and Civil War reenactments as you stroll along and view the various exhibits.
