Yelp 100 Challenge * 49/100
4 years down the road in Vegas and I finally got to participate in the 1st Friday Festivities! I don't know how many times my friends and I said 'wow' that night - from of the amazing art as well as the parking! Expect to drive around for a while looking for a spot but once that's done, I assure you that whatever the Arts Factory has to offer will make up for it.
First Friday adventures are better off unplanned. Just head in here and go with the flow, improvise, slip in and out of numerous galleries, chat with the artists and enjoy the live music outside. A handful of the art presented circled around re-using recycled materials - from bangles, purses, fridge magnets, capri sun bags etc. - such a delight for those of us who love to nurture our environment! Another gallery featured melted crayons that dripped down a paper and 1000 paper cranes that lined a ceiling. There was so much symbolism and so many deep stories behind the colorful canvas.
There's always something for every-one! Already looking forward to my next 1st Friday!
