Fairfield Galleries and Art Venues
Fairfield 1st Fridays Ark Walk Map - Click to open an enlarged viewSince 1st Fridays Art Walk stated in 2002, more galleries and art venues have joined us year by year. These galleries and art venues are the backbone of 1st Fridays Art Walk, because no matter what other activities and special events we have planned for the art walk, the galleries have generously opened their doors for 1st Fridays Art Walk attendees, every single month, year after year.
In addition to our galleries, many retail stores, restaurants and offices have begun exhibiting rotating exhibits of paintings, photography, sculpture, prints and film and video.
