Mark your calendars to visit Salida, Colorado during FIRST FRIDAYS held every month of the year! Galleries and creative businesses in downtown Salida's Creative District stay open late every first Friday of the month. Each First Friday highlights a rotating host business along with new exhibitions, special openings, and featured makers throughout the district. Visit your favorite spots, discover new ones, and experience Salida’s creative spirit all evening long. From painting to sculpture, ceramics, photography, plein air, jewelry, fiber arts, and more, drop into one of Salida's twenty+ art galleries and creative businesses where you can interact with the artist, ask questions, watch a demo and build your unique collection. Enjoy live music, refreshments, and a festive evening. See individual galleries and businesses for their schedule of events including demos, lectures, live music, and more.
Join the Palette Card tradition each month—pick up a card, collect stamps from participating businesses, and redeem a completed card for a special art mini from a local creator.
