The weather is getting steamy and the art galleries are heating up for First Fridays. Here's a sneak peek at what you'll find at a handful of participating galleries on Broad Street. Wear something loose (break out that new sundress!) and comfortable shoes for pounding the pavement. Also, the weather report calls for a chance of rain, so bring an umbrella, just in case. Restaurants will also be open with dining specials, like Chez Foushee's uber popular First Fridays special menu, see below for more details.
