First
Thursdays Downtown Artswalk @ Downtown Atlanta
THU, JUN 6 5p
This is the perfect time to experience art inside and out.
This month we invite you to stroll with us through magnificent
buildings and streets to enjoy the beauty of our city and
the art created by our neighbors. Over the past months
First Thursdays has continued to grow with new programs and
additional venues so that art lovers can view the arts, tour
the historic districts of downtown and enjoy various discounts
at downtown restaurants. So, come take a walk with us
the First Thursday of each month, from 5-9 p.m.
With its growth, First Thursdays has become more than just
an arts walk. It is an event where singles can meet,
business people can unwind, and couples can enjoy the beauty
of downtown’s landscape. And all these are accomplished
while taking in the culture that the arts offer. To
put it simply, no two trips could ever be the same. Validated
parking is available at the SunTrust Plaza Galleries and the
APEX museum, call museums for details.
