Get to know us!
A majority of Las Vegans know First Friday: a monthly event that showcases local artists, musicians, makers and more. We provide a platform where everyone can celebrate our local culture and creativity in all its forms. While we are best known for our monthly arts & culture festival held in the Las Vegas Arts District, the First Friday Foundation extends its community outreach efforts well beyond the first Friday of each month. The First Friday Foundation is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to supporting local arts, culture, and education. For over twenty years, the Foundation has put significant effort into providing artistic opportunities for thousands of local artists and students in the Clark County School District. Through creative empowerment assemblies, contests, and income-based opportunities, First Friday succeeds in providing support. We have also worked alongside other local non-profits such as the The Salvation Army, F.E.A.T., Nevada Homeless Alliance, Nevada Senior Services, Girl Scouts of America , American Foundation for Suicide and many others to bring field trips, day outings, creative projects, and murals to our community.
Our many endeavors to drive creativity and positivity within our community would not be possible without our sponsors, community partners, and of course, our local arts community.
All of our community projects, including our free monthly festival, can only survive with the support of our community. Help First Friday stick around by donating!
Any amount helps!
