5 PM TO 8 PM

WELCOME TO FIRST FRIDAY.

Here at Cottonwood Center for the Arts we host a gala opening reception on the first calendar Friday of every month.

We will welcome the community to the unveiling of our freshly curated gallery art installation each month in every way possible—stay tuned for new connections each month. We will also be keeping you in virtual touch with our two floors of studio artists, offering a behind-the-scenes look into their creative processes and artworks you can have delivered to your door.

First Friday at Cottonwood is an open invitation to the public to explore a creative life in every form.
