Turner's
First Thursdays Art Walk @ downtownATL
 The
granddaddy of all art walks, Turner
First Thursdays takes place - you guessed it - on the
first Thursday of the month from 5-8 p.m. 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. Come take a walk with us the First Thursday of each month,
from 5-8 p.m.
Over the past months Turner's 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. Turner's First Thursdays is a
self-guided tour of galleries, with no beginning or ending point,
you are free to move at your own pace.
With its growth, Turner's 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.
